Navajo woman defeats Navajo incumbent in New Mexico House
Republican Sharon Clahchischilliage defeated New Mexico State Rep. Ray Begaye (D) for a district that includes parts of the Navajo Nation.
Clahchischilliage will represent District 4 in northwestern New Mexico. Begaye has held the seat since 1999.
"I am so relieved. This is a big break through. To beat a 14-year seniority state representative, it says a lot,"
Clahchischilliage told The Farmington Daily Times.
Clahchischilliage previously served as director of the Navajo Nation Washington Office.
