Codd was first elected to Wexford County Council in the 2019 local elections. He is the chairperson of County Wexford Aontú, He unsuccessfully ran in the November 2019 by-election for Wexford.

Wexford has several candidates making outlandish promises but most of them are long-standing career politicians who have not delivered before... I think the country needs ordinary citizens in the Dáil now, not career politicians.

To do everything in my power as an elected representative to ensure that people have enough money to live on. All of the economic and social issues facing my constituents can be traced back to people not earning enough to cover the rising costs of living.

I would put forward a Bill to ensure that local authorities will be adequately funded so that new or returning social houses can be turned around so that people can be rehoused within 30 days.
