The attacks on candidates in the race for 2 Tribal Council’s top officers is coming from Brian Weeden, Anne Marie Askew and Winnie Johnson.
Brian is long on optics but short on substance. Experience does matter, especially now.
Despite the fact that Brian’s family Elders on the Hicks and Weeden sides have counseled him against running….he’s running anyway. Another example of his foolish defiance of Elder advice. They know he lacks the experience, behaves erratically and is unable to provide leadership in this time of crisis. Acts of Desperation never work out.

Candidates who refuse to talk about their own record and how they are going to really help us continue to trivialize our politics and play into the stereotypes that we are stupid and shallow.
Ignorance is not a characteristic we’re looking for in candidates. It’s their vision. The Cedric Cromwell regime will only continue to drag us underground if we allow them to thrive or influence our thinking.
