Immigration & Border
Crystalyne Curley has publicly pushed for emergency protocols and stronger identification support for Navajo citizens affected by ICE activity. The available evidence shows concern for protecting tribal members from detention and improving recognition of tribal documents, but it does not clearly define a broader immigration or border policy.
Climate & Energy
Supports building resilience in the face of climate change and has emphasized water security, infrastructure, and long-term resource protection for the Navajo Nation. Publicly available material found here does not show a clear, specific position on fossil fuels, renewable energy, or emissions policy.
