Senator Begay represents District 7 in Arizona.
Begay explained today why the GOP represents his values and why Democrats are taking his state and the country in the wrong direction.
This is a VERY POWERFUL video – The Navajo Nation is very fortunate to have Carlyle representing their interests.
In the mold of Elbert Guillory in Louisiana and Evan Jenkins in West Virginia, among others, we’re seeing more and more Democrats switch to the GOP.
I'm proud to welcome State Senator @CarlyleBegay to the #Republican Party. https://t.co/u4lvZqnm3X
