A statement from Independent presidential Candidate Mark Charles, a citizen of the Navajo Nation, on March 14, 2020:

“…I encourage everyone to not overlook the danger this virus presents to our more vulnerable populations; especially elders, people who are house-less and those with compromised immune and respiratory systems. And while I encourage you to practice safe and appropriate social distancing, please remember that does not mean treating those around us (including strangers) with indifference. It is easy in times like this, where much is unknown and fear levels are heightened, to treat others as threats. I hope that as a nation, we can resist that temptation and remember our interdependence upon each other… In response to this virus our campaign has indefinitely postponed all campaign-related travel and public meetings. However, we will continue to host (and expand) our online campaign events via Zoom, YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook.”
