He was first elected in January 2003 by then the 20th Navajo Nation Council. Current Navajo law requires a Speaker to serve two years per term. He was re-elected in 2005 to a second term, and in January 2007 he was elected to a third consecutive term defeating fellow councilmen Harold Wauneka of Fort Defiance, Arizona. In January 2009 he was once again re-elected to lead the Navajo Nation Council, after beating fellow council member Leonard Tsosie (Whitehorse Lake/Torreon/Counselor).
