 While the results are in for the Red Lake Band of Ojibwe's general election, eight different races, 40 candidates in all participating. The headliner, the tribal chairman election, were incumbent Daryl Seeky Sr. faced former chairman Floyd Buck Jordan and three other candidates. Seeky Sr. defeated Jordan by a little more than 600 votes in the 2014 election. Now, in order to win the general election, a candidate needs more than 50% of the total vote. If no one gets more than 50%, the top two candidates then move on to a runoff election at a future date. And that is what happened in most of the races, including the tribal chairman contest, where Jordan picked up 45.84% of the vote and Seeky gathered 39.99% of the vote. And now these are all official certified results I should remind you. In the election for tribal secretary Darwin Sumner and Sam Strong were the top two vote getters. They move on to the runoff election. There'll be a runoff for travel treasurer as well with incumbent Annette Johnson and Chad Prentice moving on. The Little Rock representative race with a four-year term had three candidates and Adrian Bolio was declared the winner with just over 50% of the vote. The Little Rock representative race with a two-year term will go to a runoff with Michelle Barrett Kobanase and William Billy Green, the top vote getters. The incumbent Gary L. Nelson Sr. wins the Panema representative election with 58.29% of the vote. Ten candidates for the Red Lake representative as expected, though no one close to the 50% threshold. So the top vote getters Donald L. Good Sr. and David DeJarle move on to the runoff election. And the Red Bee representative race had seven candidates. And incumbent Julius Toti Thunder was the top vote getter. He'll face the second place finisher Thomas Westbrook in the runoff.
