Window Rock, Ariz. • Navajo Nation President Jonathan Nez on Tuesday urged San Juan County, Utah, voters to reject Proposition 10 in next week’s special election.
Nez spoke at a press conference, along with other Navajo officials and Kenneth Maryboy, a member of the first majority-Native American San Juan County Commission.
If it passes on Nov. 5, the proposition would begin the process of changing San Juan County’s form of government. It would authorize the creation of a study committee that could recommend expanding the size of the three-member County Commission, which has two Navajo members.
