I am running in the Special Election #4, the vacant Business Committee Secretary/Treasurer position. 

 My grandfather is George “Pokey” Valliere and my mother is Susie Valliere.  Several years before his passing, Pokey served on the Quapaw Tribe Business Committee.  My grandfather and mother taught me the importance of living a life of service to our people and the community that we live in.

I’d like to tell you a little about myself and why I am asking for your vote to serve as a Quapaw Nation Secretary / Treasurer. 

I love my O-gah-pah relations and am dedicated to the people of the Quapaw Nation. I feel that my education and professional experience can serve the people of the Quapaw Nation. It is time that I utilize my experience and skills to assist in advancing the Quapaw Nation into the future.

It will be my honor and pleasure to serve the people of the Quapaw Nation.
