Jonathan Nez launches bid for re-election as president of Navajo Nation

Jonathan Nez, the incumbent president of the Navajo Nation, kicked off his re-election campaign over the weekend.

The "Nez 4 Prez 2.0" campaign launched with a rally in Nez's hometown of Shonto, on the Arizona portion of the reservation. Nez got his start in tribal politics as president of the Shonto Chapter.

"This is where it all started here in Shonto, Arizona," Nez said on Saturday. "As a young person, I spent years listening to and gradually understanding the issues from the local level on up. Navajo was my first language and my elders used our sacred language to instill our Navajo way of life teachings in me at a young age."
