Navajo Nation
Source-published biographyClara is a member of the Navajo Nation and grew up in a small town called Lupton on the Arizona-New Mexico border. Her family had no electricity or running water at their home until she was in middle school, so her campaign to oversee Arizona’s utilities is personal. For decades she has advocated for investment in small businesses, affordable energy and infrastructure projects in tribal and rural communities and led efforts to save northern Arizona jobs threatened by coal plant closures.
