Young Navajo Voters Want To See More From Clinton

Majerle Lister is a young Navajo voter who has lived on and off the reservation. There are 22 federally recognized tribes in Arizona including the largest in the country — the Navajo.

As the second largest minority American Indians make up 5 percent of state population. While that doesn’t seem like that much, as a block they’ve been the swing vote in close races. Twenty two-year-old Majerle Lister has been watching the presidential race closely.

“I’ve always been political,” Lister said. “My grandfather was a chapter house president but also a councilman on the Navajo Nation. I used to play at the chapter house meetings. Looking back at it now I’m like oh wow maybe subconsciously I picked it up and wanted to be part of it.”
