86033 Kayenta, AZ is a small, rural town in northeastern Arizona. It is located on the Navajo Nation and consists of mostly Native American residents. As such, the town and its community are subject to the laws of the Navajo Nation government rather than those of Arizona state politics. The Navajo Nation has its own executive, legislative, and judicial branches of government which are headed by the elected President of the Navajo Nation. This president is elected every four years and has been Jonathan Nez since 2019. His administration works closely with local chapters and communities in order to ensure that any issues are addressed promptly and appropriately. As such, political decisions made at a local level are often referred to as tribal politics instead of state or national politics due to their different jurisdictions.

How It Works:
Here at BestPlaces, we were looking at the voting patterns since the 2000 election and realized that we could express the results of each election as one letter. R if the Republican Party candidate won, D for the Democrat and I for the Independent. The six elections (2000, 2004, 2008, 2012, 2016, 2020) would be expressed as six-letter word (R R D R R).
Then we went a little further and added the dimension of magnitude. If the difference of victory was greater than 10 percent, the letter is upper case, and lower case if the difference was less than 10 percent. This allows us to see interesting voting patterns at just a glance.
