My name is Jonathan Nez. I’m the former President of the Navajo Nation.

Today, I am running for Congress to defeat MAGA Republican Eli Crane, flip Arizona’s 2nd blue, and take back the house.

Let’s win this.

I support Senator Kelly and Senator Gallego fighting to ensure thousands of residents in AZ-2 don’t lose their health insurance.

This is a critical fight. www.cnn.com/2025/10/08/p...

This election is about the future of Arizona’s 2nd. We can choose extremism and dysfunction, or we can choose leadership that delivers for people. I’m running to make sure we choose the future our families deserve. secure.actblue.com/donate/nez-f...

Eli Crane is focused on political stunts while our communities face real challenges. I’ll work across party lines to deliver solutions on healthcare, jobs, and infrastructure. It’s time to put people over politics.

This district is home to breathtaking landscapes and natural resources that we must protect. I will fight to safeguard Arizona’s environment for future generations while creating opportunities for sustainable growth.

The federal government has shut down again because of partisanship in Washington. Communities in rural Arizona and across Indian Country will pay the highest price, while Eli Crane sits on the sidelines and refuses to do the job he was elected to do. We deserve better.

Arizona’s 2nd is a community of families, workers, and small businesses. We need a representative who will fight for opportunity and fairness. I’m ready to serve on day one and deliver for every resident.

My campaign is about representing every resident—Democrat, Republican, or Independent. Because the people of Arizona’s 2nd deserve a representative who will fight for them, not divide them.

Arizona’s 2nd could decide the House majority in November. That’s why this race is so important. I am ready to lead on day one and deliver results for families, not extremists.

I’m not a millionaire living in a suburb. I’m a public servant from the heart of Northern Arizona—and I’ll never forget where I came from.

Let’s fight for the people of Arizona and take back Arizona's 2nd.

I led the Navajo Nation through the worst public health crisis of our lifetime. I know how to act under pressure—and I won’t play politics with your health and safety.

Eli Crane just voted for a bill that will ensure Affordable Care Act subsidies expire.

This will result in healthcare costs for Arizonans rising fast.

His vote is a vote against the interests of our people.

I'm running to lower your costs, not raise them.

As former President of the Navajo Nation, I’ve led during crisis and delivered results for rural Arizona, including clean drinking water, improved public safety, and new health care facilities. I’m ready to serve our district in Congress—and hit the ground running on day one.

Eli Crane seems more focused on pushing culture wars and extremism than helping our communities.

Rural Arizonans deserve a fighter.

I'm ready to serve and lead on day one.

As President of the Navajo Nation, I didn’t ask if you were a Democrat or Republican—I just got to work.

Now I’m running for Congress to bring that same grit, humility, and results-driven leadership to Washington.

Together, we will win this race.

Eli Crane is running from Arizonans who are demanding the truth about the Epstein files. He has remained silent on the discharge petition, and we need answers. Unlike Crane, I will vote to release the files when I get to Congress. The public deserves answers.

Extremist Republicans like Eli Crane have no business representing the communities of Arizona's 2nd.

We want someone who will protect our health care, invest in local infrastructure, and lower costs for families.

Crane won't. I will.

Eli Crane doesn't want to listen to the Epstein survivors. He is refusing to sign onto a discharge petition to release the files. It's horrible. In Congress, I will fight to uplift their voices and demand to release all the files.

Labor Day is a moment to recognize the hard working people of Arizona whose contributions shape our state every day.

Today we honor their achievements and renew our commitment to fairness, opportunity, and respect for every worker.

Growing up, our elders would challenge us to get an education, get experience, and then come home and help our communities.

That's exactly what I did. I served as Navajo Nation President, and now I'm running for Congress to keep delivering for rural Arizona.
