Navajo Nation President Jonathan Nez says he'll seek a second term in office.
Nez's term as the tribe's top elected leader has been dominated by the coronavirus pandemic.
He announced a reelection bid over the weekend from his hometown of Shonto.
He highlighted his administration's handling of COVID-19 and says he wants to ensure that plans to rebuild the economy, and extend power and water lines continue.
A handful of others have said they'll seek the position.
The deadline for presidential hopefuls to file for the job is May 4. The primary election is in August.
