Navajo Nation’s Historic Presidential Race | Santa Fe News

Navajo voters have narrowed the field for president, with Justin Jones and Crystalyne Curley advancing to the November general election after a fierce primary — Jones leading with over 30% and Curley making history as the first woman to hold the speaker’s office and now aiming to be the first female president. Jones, a Marine veteran and tribal law attorney, prioritizes Chaco Canyon protection through access restrictions and opposes mining. Curley, meanwhile, champions water access, public safety, and infrastructure — even pledging to fund Chaco Canyon preservation with tribal resources. Both will announce running mates this Monday, with Curley seeking a unifying figure and Jones focused on vetting strong partners. The November 3rd election will be decided by registered Navajo voters 18 and older. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
