If Kamala Harris is elected president alongside Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota, Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan would become Minnesota's first female governor and the first Native American person to assume the role.
Ms. Flanagan has been a key figure in improving relations between state government and tribal nations in Minnesota, advocating for change and criticizing symbols like the state flag for being racist.
Bobby Joe Champion would become lieutenant governor if Flanagan takes over, making him the first Black person to serve in that role.
