Government

LOCAL GOVERNANCE

We will actively communicate with and empower local communities to innovate at the chapter level to take care of their local needs and create opportunities for our people to build homes, start businesses, and attend quality schools.

The Nygren Administration will commit to giving more authority and autonomy to the 110 Navajo Nation Chapters to get the hard work done while holding them to high accountability standards for the People’s money. We can approach this in three ways:

• Offer much-needed support to empower our 110 chapters.
• Commit to improving government efficiency and participation through technology.
• Work to improve wages across Navajo to reflect local and regional markets and offer resources to increase the effectiveness of the services they provide.

We will commit to standing with Native America to fight for our sovereignty, culture, way of life, and language. We will commit to protecting Navajo voting rights and accessibility at local polling locations. When it comes to the unique needs of the Eastern Navajo Agency, we will commit to supporting our Navajo people regarding land issues.
