Cody has been politically active since 2016, and has been an AZGP member and volunteer since 2019. He is a co-founder of AZGP's Youth Caucus and has been previously elected to AZGP's State Committee as an Alternate Delegate to the Green Party of the United States' (GPUS) National Committee, and as a Co-Chairperson of AZGP.
In 2022, Cody ran for office for the first time as a nonpartisan write-in candidate endorsed by AZGP for Chandler, AZ City Council and received nearly 1000 votes without any formal campaign organization or name recognition, and without raising or spending any money- all within the span of two short months. He currently serves as the elected Chairperson of the Green Party of Maricopa County, and as the elected Co-Chairperson of AZGP.
Outside of politics, Cody enjoys reading, comedy, cooking, gardening, playing music, being outdoors, and spending quality time with those he cares about.- Arizona is facing a convergence of intricately connected social, economic, and environmental problems caused by decades of shortsighted policy decisions from the Republican & Democratic Parties on behalf of their corporate donors, lobbyists, and special interest groups. The two-party system has resulted in vicious political tribalism, gridlock, and a failure to provide Arizona's working families and our environment with the policies, resources, and support we need. It is vital that Arizonans finally have the courage to truly vote their values rather than against their fears by rejecting the "lesser evil" parties on election day and joining us in the Green Party in the fight for the greater good of all Arizonans.
- The voices and values of young people, particularly those from impoverished and socially marginalized communities, are currently and historically underrepresented in the AZ Legislature, leading to the corporate-controlled, oligarchic gerontocracy of business owners, land owners, lawyers, the wealthy, and former arbiters of state-sanctioned violence who currently hold power. We need to elect a new generation of leaders that truly understand the social/material conditions that young people are facing in the current day, and can articulate a transformative agenda for achieving the systemic changes that current and future generations of young people in Arizona need to be able to survive and thrive like the generations preceding us enjoyed.
- Our campaign, unlike others in this race, has pledged to refuse all campaign contributions from corporations, super PACs, lobbyists, and special interest groups. Cody views the legalized bribery in the form of the influence of corporate money in our political system as one of the primary drivers of the decay of our democracy. This refusal to be bought by the rich and powerful gives Cody the unique ability to freely speak up for the issues that matter to working class Arizona families, and who deserve to have an elected Representative in the State Legislature that will fight tooth and nail for the interests of people, planet, and peace over short-term profits and infinite economic growth.

- The status quo politics as usual that are owned by corporations, lobbyists, and the ultra wealthy are causing severe harm to people, planet, and peace. If we want radical change in our government that puts our interests ahead of corporate profits, we need to vote for it.
- We need a new generation of leadership in government with fresh ideas and perspectives. We cannot afford more of the same.
- I am the only climate candidate, the only abolitionist candidate, and the only candidate truly fighting for the rights of working people and marginalized communities.
