Become a Precinct Committee Person

The first priority for our local Democratic Party in our counties is to recruit precinct committee members (PCs). They will represent our communities' interests and speak to our needs. ____

Dear Editor, 

The Navajo Times headline stated we Navajos “will have a seat at the table” because Arizona's Native voters overwhelmingly voted for Democratic winners Joe Biden-Kamala Harris, Mark Kelly, Tom O'Halleran, Jamescita Peshlakai, Arlando Teller, and Myron Tsosie.

I am ecstatic that we came together and shocked the nation by flipping the traditionally red state of Arizona to blue. In Arizona, over 52,000 Navajo voters propelled the Democratic ticket of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris to a victory margin of 11,000 votes with 82% of the Navajo voters choosing the Biden-Harris ticket. 

Grassroots Democratic field workers and volunteers from our tribal communities collaborated with the Arizona Democrats and the Biden-Harris campaign to accomplish our goal, and now that we are sitting at the table, we must hold Democratic leadership accountable for what they said they would do if we showed up and cast our ballots. 

The first priority for our local Democratic Party in our counties is to recruit precinct committee members (PCs). They will represent our communities' interests and speak to our needs. If you are interested in becoming a PC, please contact the Chair of Apache County Democrats, Steven C. Begay at (928) 245-7860 and stmikeman52@yahoo.com. All PC work is volunteer, and there is no specific time commitment. 

The Apache County Democrats will meet on a regular basis to prepare for the 2022 election. Our next teleconference on Wednesday, November 25, 2020, will be posted on our Facebook page, “Apache County Democrats," and announced in the Navajo Times. 

Thank you for voting to restore our democracy and for working together to put Biden-Harris in our White House on January 20, 2021. I am looking forward to participating with you in expanding economic opportunity, investing in educational opportunities, and providing reliable healthcare. Together we will overcome the pandemic and restore our Navajo Nation's economy by our active participation in the Democratic Party. 

Sincerely, 

Priscilla Weaver
