The coronavirus pandemic was Arizona's top news story of the year. The disease disrupted the economy, schools, government and the lives of nearly every state resident. Gov. Doug Ducey was forced to shut down schools in March and then much of the economy in an effort to slow the virus' spread. Ducey eased restrictions in mid-May and watched as the virus surged across the state, starting with massive numbers of infections on the Navajo Nation. (AP Photo/Ross D. Franklin, File)

Joshua Gonnie pauses for a photo Thursday, Oct. 29, 2020 in Phoenix. The 35-year-old registered Democrat voted for Donald Trump in 2016 partly because he was upset that Bernie Sanders wasn't the nominee. Also, as a Navajo man who grew up only seeing men lead tribal communities, Gonnie couldn't picture Hillary Clinton as president. This time, he voted for Joe Biden. He thinks the former vice-president would better serve Native Americans. (AP Photo/Terry Tang)
