Former Navajo Nation Leader Runs for Congress in Arizona

Jonathan Nez, former president of the Navajo Nation, is the Democratic candidate for Arizona's Second Congressional District.
If elected, Nez would be the first Native American from Arizona to serve in the House.
The Second District includes 14 of the 22 federally recognized tribes in Arizona but leans Republican after redistricting.
Nez emphasized understanding the struggles of Second District families in his campaign announcement.
The current representative is Republican Eli Crane, a former Navy SEAL who won a crowded primary in 2022.
