INDN's List thrilled to announce our next round of endorsements for 2008!  These candidates in Oklahoma and Washington will work hard for Indian Country when they are elected in November.  You can read more about all of our endorsed candidates here.

Oklahoma

Senator Nancy Riley, a member of the Cherokee Nation, is running for re-election in District 37.  She has no primary, but the seat is a target of the Republican Party to try to gain the majority in the state senate.  Nancy needs your support to win again in November!

Judge Robert Murphy, a member of the Cherokee Nation, is running in an open seat for District 21.  Judge Murphy has a primary on July 29, where we are sure he'll be successful to go to the general in November.  Help Robert so we can regain a true majority in the OK state senate!

Representative Scott BigHorse, a member of the Osage Nation, is running for re-election in HD 36.  We endorsed Scott in his first election in 2006, and are proud to do so again!  He has no primary, but 3 Republicans are on the ballot for July 29.  Next week, he'll know more about the competition he faces this fall, and he needs your support to win!

Eugene Blankenship, a member of the Cherokee Nation, is challenging a Republican incumbent in the traditionally-Democratic House District 14 seat.  He is the Democratic nominee, and needs your help for victory this fall!

Bill Snyder, a member of the Cherokee Nation, is running as a challenger to the Republican incumbent in House District 9. He faces an uphill battle, but he needs your help to win!  If we do not start taking out incumbents in tough races, the Democrats will never regain the majority in the state house.

Officer Clinton "Scott" Walton, a member of the Cherokee Nation, is running for the open County Sheriff seat in Rogers County.  He faces no primary, and has been endorsed by the outgoing Sheriff.  He needs your support to win!

Representative Anastasia Pittman, a Freedman member of the Seminole Nation, is running for re-election to HD 99 in Oklahoma City.  She has a primary on July 29, and needs your help to win this summer and this fall!

Representative Ken Luttrell, a member of the Cherokee Nation, is running for re-election to HD 37.  He has no primary, but faces a general election opponent.  Help us protect this incumbent!

Representative Jerry McPeak, a member of the Muscogee Creek Nation, is running for re-election to HD 13.  He faces no primary, but has an opponent in November.  Help us protect our Indian voices in the OK State House!

Washington

Dr. Don Barlow, a member of the Ottawa tribe of Oklahoma, is running for re-election to HD 6.  We first endorsed Representative Barlow in 2006, and he is a wonderful friend to INDN's List - our only endorsed candidate who is also a Warrior!  He has a primary on August 19 in Washington state's new "Top 2" system, and he needs your support to make it to the general election ballot in this Republican swing district!  Representative Barlow is being targeted by the Republicans.  Last cycle, Barlow won a seat that had not been held by a Democrat for over 40 years!  He is a progressive voice for all of us and one of our top priorities at INDN's List is to secure his victory in November.

Representative John McCoy, a member of the Tulalip tribe, is running for re-election to HD 38.  We proudly endorsed him in 2006 and are happy to do so again!  He faces no primary opposition, but has a general election opponent.  He needs your help to win in November!

Speaker Pro Tempore Jeff Morris, a member of the Tsimshian tribe, is running for re-election to HD 40.  Representative Morris was first elected in 1996 and was unopposed the last two cycles, but he faces a general election opponent this fall.  He needs your support to win!

Since our founding 3 years ago, we have experienced an impressive 79% win rate, with 22 of 28 of our endorsed candidates winning in 2006 & 2007!  With your help, we can do even more.  We can help the good candidates listed above and many more throughout this election year, but we can't do it without you. 

Please give today to INDN's List to help us support these excellent candidates.

Thank you for your support.
