Seth Damon was re-elected to a second term as Speaker of the 24th Navajo Nation Council, according to a statement released by tribe leadership.

Navajo Nation President Jonathan Nez and Vice President Myron Lizer were on hand to congratulate him during the opening day of the Winter Council Session. They both watched Chief Justice JoAnn B. Jayne administer the oath of office to Damon outside of the Council Chamber Jan. 25.

“The Nez-Lizer Administration looks forward to continue working with Speaker Damon and the 24th Navajo Nation Council! Ahe’hee,’” the statement said.
