To everyone who supported me through the campaign and for those who showed their support by casting their vote for me in the general election. THANK YOU! It has been my honor to serve as your Tribal Chairman for six terms. I am asking for your vote to continue our record of progress and service to the Citizen Potawatomi Nation. In that 24 year period we have faced many challenges. With your help we have overcome them to become one of the most successful American Indian Tribes in the United States. By reforming our Tribal Constitution, we have enabled every adult member of our Nation to both vote and be eligible to serve in the Tribal Legislature, no matter where they live. No other tribe has ever transferred that much power to their people. Our economic development success has become a model for all of Indian Country to emulate through constant innovation . We were prepared for the current economic crisis and will continue to expand our services to those most in need. That is our tradition. That is what allowed our tribe to survive, and now thrive.
