Here's a bit more info:
Quote:
Our elected representatives can affect our day-to-day life. Though the Cherokee Nation has become less reliant on federal funding over the years, we still rely on the government to fund a majority of our programs. We must have federal officials who understand the value of what the Cherokee Nation brings to Oklahoma and our sovereign right as a Nation.
The Cherokee Nation exists as a sovereign nation within the State of Oklahoma. It is important that state officials respect that sovereignty and agree to work with the Cherokee Nation to make our state a better place. Please take the time to review the voters guide and be sure to cast an informed vote on Tuesday, November 7th. Remember your vote is your voice. Please make it count on Election Day.
