Walter Murillo, CEO of Native Health, emphasized the importance of Native American voters in Arizona, saying, "I always think that the Native vote in Arizona shouldn't be discounted... any marginal or incremental influence really depends on convincing American-Indian voters." He noted that in such tightly contested races, like the one in 2020 that Biden narrowly won, every vote count becomes vital.
The Harris campaign's launch of the Native Americans for Harris-Walz coalition is pivotal, aiming to mobilize tribal leaders and ensure continued Democratic support. A campaign official remarked it was "the most expansive tribal organizing program ever in the state," highlighting the hiring of over 20 staff to focus on tribal areas.
The Democratic National Committee's commitment to Native American outreach is significant, as they announced a six-figure ad campaign called the I Will Vote campaign, targeting states like Arizona. This campaign marks their third effort specifically aimed at Native voters and the most financially robust to date, showing the growing recognition of this demographic's electoral impact.
