About Jonathan Nez:
Jonathan Nez grew up in rural Arizona. He helped his family run a ranch without running water or electricity. At 29, he began his career in public service in his community of Shonto on the Navajo Nation and never looked back. He was elected President of the Navajo Nation, the largest tribe in the United States, leading the Nation through the COVID-19 pandemic and earning national recognition. Now he is ready to take that same leadership to Washington and fight for rural Arizona.
You’d be joining an experienced candidate who last cycle raised $5.5mil through a strong grassroots program. During a tough year for Democrats, he outperformed VP Harris and Sen. Gallego in the district. The DCCC has labeled this race as Red-to-Blue.
