Navajo Nation presidential candidate Joe Shirley wants to ensure the voice of tribal members on the three-state reservation is being heard. To help do that, he wants to a helicopter added to the tribe's stable.

"I want to meet the people on top of Lukachukai mountain if there's a ceremony there," Shirley told The Farmington Daily-Times. He says it will help him be more accessible to the reservation.

Shirley is the only candidate to have filed for election, according to the paper. He would be challenging incumbent Kelsey Begaye in an August 6 primary, with the general election being held November 5.
