IMMEDIATE RELEASE<\/p>\n

November 9th 2020<\/p>\n

PHOENIX\u2013 The Arizona Indigenous People\u2019s Caucus released the following statement after Indigenous voters swung the 2020 election:<\/p>\n

\u201cDespite a long history of voter suppression in our community, the power of Indigenous voters was on full display in Arizona this election cycle. The Native vote across Arizona was pivotal in electing Joe Biden and Mark Kelly and putting them over the top to win. And while the\u00a0 Navajo Nation came out overwhelmingly for Kelly and Biden, the collective power of all Arizona tribes clearly made a difference in helping to swing the election. As reported Thursday by the Navajo Times, the three counties that overlap with the Hopi Tribe and Navajo Nation gave Biden 73,954 votes, and just 2,010 for Trump, a rate of 97% for Biden as opposed to 51% statewide.<\/p>\n
