Some Navajo Code Talkers may dislike Navajo Nation President Kelsey Begaye but they are making it clear they aren't endorsing his run for re-election.

They aren't opposing him either. The Navajo Code Talker Association cannot endorse political candidates.

Nevertheless, the association will discuss "The Photo" at a meeting in Gallup, New Mexico, today. The Farmington Daily-Times ran a photo showing Begaye talking to a Navajo Code Talker with the caption "Begaye, McKenzie to run for second term" but the meeting of the minds had nothing to do with the political run.
