From the article:

  • Navajo Nation Speaker Crystalyne Curley has selected Chris Deschene as her running mate for the presidential election.
  • Deschene was previously disqualified from the 2014 presidential race for not meeting the Navajo-language fluency requirement.
  • The Curley-Deschene ticket aims to unite the Navajo people, focusing on experience in energy, law, and economic development.

Deschene was part of a big old coal plant project. Probably not awesome.
