President-elect completes clean sweep of seven battleground states; Republican representative defeats former Navajo Nation president for House seat
Republican US representative Eli Crane won reelection in a Republican-leaning congressional district covering vast swaths of rural Arizona, reports the Associated Press . Crane faced Democrat Jonathan Nez, the former Navajo Nation president, in the second district race. Nez was vying to become the first Native American to represent Arizona in Congress. In a statement late Saturday, Crane commended Nez for entering the race and thanked voters.
Crane wrote: I will continue using every tool in my arsenal to fight against the corruption and selfish interests of the DC elites to put rural Arizonans FIRST. I’m laser-focused on working with President Trump to lower inflation, secure the border and return to peace through strength.” The district covers much of north-eastern Arizona and dips south to the northern Tucson suburbs. Nez said in a statement late on Saturday that he called Crane to congratulate him on a hard-fought victory.
