About Jonathan Nez and AZ-02:
Jonathan Nez's race for Arizona’s 2nd Congressional district has been named a Red to Blue Race and is a top pick up opportunity. In 2024, Jonathan Nez, the former President of the Navajo Nation, put this district in play and was one of the top overperformers of the cycle. The race provides the opportunity to work in a large rural district that is home to 14 of Arizona's 22 Federally recognized tribes. While a traditionally strong Republican District, the 2026 cycle and Jonathan Nez provide a unique opportunity to flip this seat.
