Navajo Nation Advances Two Presidential Hopefuls

Last night Navajo voters worked to decide which two of 15 presidential hopefuls they want to advance to the tribe’s general election. The candidates include incumbent Jonathan Nez, former Navajo Vice President Frank Dayish Jr., former tribal Attorney General Ethel Branch, attorney Justin Jones, and Buu Van Nygren, the vice presidential candidate from 2018.

Their platforms include economic development, ensuring Navajos have basic infrastructure like running water and electricity, and finding ways to preserve the Navajo language.

More than 122,000 Navajos are registered to vote in the primary that’s held the same day as Arizona’s primary
