Positions

LiberalConservative

Economy & Taxes

Kevin Cody has argued that the Navajo Nation should move away from relying on coal, oil, gas, helium, and casino development and look in different directions for economic growth. His publicly documented comments do not clearly lay out a specific tax policy, so his position on taxes is unclear from the available evidence.

Healthcare

Kevin Cody says healthcare is one of his main priorities and calls for reforming healthcare in the Navajo Nation. He has emphasized the need to address limited care, improve IHS and 638-hospital services, and bring more doctors to the Nation.

Public Safety & Guns

Kevin Cody has said his primary focus is public safety, including police, fire, EMS, emergency management, and corrections. He has emphasized working with law enforcement to deploy crime-reducing resources and tactics and updating codes with legislators and the judicial branch.
