The former president of the Navajo Nation is mounting a bid for one of Arizona's congressional seats.
Nez said he will challenge incumbent Eli Crane, who has represented Arizona’s redrawn 2nd Congressional District since last year.
In an interview with the Arizona Daily Sun, Nez said he’s disappointed with the divisiveness in politics, the dysfunction in the capitol and the role Arizona representatives have played in that dysfunction. He continued, "There’s a lot of issues that the folks in our district are wanting us to address, like affordable childcare, affordable housing and quality healthcare."
He lost in his presidential reelection bid last year and now hopes to become the first Native American to represent Arizona in Congress.
