Congratulations Diamond Brown and Adam Wachacha

I wish to congratulate Cherokee County/Snowbird Candidates Diamond Brown and Adam Wachacha on their victories in the most recent Tribal Council elections. The two will join six new Council members, which includes Bill Taylor in Wolfetown, Tunney Crowe in Birdtown, Terri Henry in Painttown and Teresa McCoy in Big Cove. While some of my supporters may be disappointed that I didn't make the cut, know that I appreciate your votes and your faith in me. Also understand that I'm confident that we'll have a great representative in Diamond Brown. While I don't know Adam well, the times I've met him I've found him to be a genuinely nice person. I also respect his service to our country in the U.S. Army. I look forward to what both of these individuals can do for our communities. Both Adam and Diamond ran a good race, and I applaud them both.
While I lost, we got the change we needed, and I'm certainly happy about that.
