[A Native American first for Congress?]( There’s never been a Native American Congresswoman in United States history, but with four indigenous women running for Congress in the upcoming midterm elections, 2018 may be the year when history is made. Deb Haaland, a Democratic candidate for Congress in New Mexico’s First District spoke with SalonTV about the importance of equal representation in a democracy and what she plans to do if she takes office. “Native Americans are one of the groups who are most underrepresented in our country,” Haaland told Salon. “There's still people in New Mexico, Native Americans who have never registered to vote. That's something I've worked on for a long, long time, making sure that underrepresented folks have a seat at the table.” Haaland has high hopes for inspiring other women get involved politically. “If I win my seat that will help other native women to realize that they can run for office, whether it's Congress, whether it's school board, whether it's you know, state representative or state senator. I think it's important that we have diversity at every level and there are just not enough women of color in any elected office across the country,” she told Salon. Check out the video above to hear more about Haaland’s historic campaign as well as her outspoken criticism of President Trump.

[The risky "Iceman Cometh” revival]( “The Iceman Cometh,” starring Denzel Washington, is nominated for eight Tony Awards this year, but for director George C. Wolfe it wasn’t a project he originally thought he would take on. The five-time Tony Award-winning director and playwright revealed on “Salon Talks” that if he was going to direct a revival of the Eugene O’Neill classic, the project needed to have risk, and at first, he couldn’t pinpoint any big artistic challenges. That all changed when he read O’Neill again. Wolfe told Salon’s executive editor Andrew O’Hehir, “Iceman is a slight departure, I normally don't like doing revivals because I figure, you know, always when I do a play there's gotta be an equation of risk and potential failure, you know, and when you're working on a new play, it's like, how do I do this and do we have the time and, so all of these huge questions engage, I think the, hopefully, the smartest part of me, and then when you're doing the revival, well somebody's already solved it. But then, so what do I have to offer for it?” Wolfe’s five Tony Awards cover different aspects of theater like playwriting, play direction and musical direction. Wolfe won Tonys for best direction with “Angels in America: Millennium Approaches” and “Bring in 'da Noise/Bring in 'da Funk.” Watch the video above to learn more about Wolfe’s vision for the show and watch the [full interview]( to hear his thoughts on the newest production of “Angels in America.” Tune in for SalonTV's live shows, ["Salon Talks"]( and ["Salon Stage"]( , daily at noon ET / 9 a.m. PT and 4 p.m. ET / 1 p.m. PT, streaming live on [Salon]( , [Facebook]( and [Periscope]( . --------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------- [Democrat tells Trump to kiss off]( Democratic candidate kisses his husband in “Fox & Friends” ad to “piss off Trump” Shira Tarlo --------------------------------------------------------------- [Are we teaching girls too much empathy?]( Are we teaching our girls too much empathy?
