Navajo Nation President Jonathan Nez and Vice President Myron Lizer congratulate Roberta Wilcox Cano, a member of the Navajo Nation, and the very first Native American to be elected to serve as the Mayor for the City of Winslow, Ariz. — located near the southern part of the Navajo Nation.
“We congratulate Mayor-elect Cano and her team for the successful campaign they organized and for making history by becoming the first Native American to be elected for this position,” Nez said. “Our administration looks forward to building a great partnership with her office in the years to come. I wish her the very best and I will be praying for her continued success.”
Mayor-elect Cano is originally from Winslow, and previously worked for the Arizona Department of Corrections before she began working for the City of Winslow in 2013.
“We look forward to building upon the opportunity to address many issues with Mayor-elect Cano and her office once she takes office,” Lizer stated. “With her background and years of experience working at the state level and with the City of Winslow, we are excited to work with her and work toward building stronger communities and economic development.”
