Our young government faces many critical issues; to win the battles, we must stand as a strong, united Nation. Historically, our Osage ancestors lead the way with strong leadership and business decisions. Today, we as a Nation, face new challenges. Some examples are protecting our Sovereignty; solving problems on the Reservation, such as unemployment and crime; and protecting our Reservation status in the court case with the State. To solve these challenges, we must fix our divided Nation so that all branches of government will work together for your good.

If elected, I will create the legislation that will help you. Let’s ensure an outstanding education and scholarship program for our young People. They are our future leaders. Lets protect our Osage culture, traditions, and Language. Let’s ensure the preservation of the minerals estate and protect the Minerals Council as an independent agency. Our Constitution covers the issue of the functions of the minerals council. Let’s grow and diversify in all areas of commerce. Finally, let’s respect and listen to the words of our elders.
