ROSEBUD – The Rosebud Sioux Tribe’s Election Board will hold a hearing to determine eligibility of a candidate who filed for the Soldier Creek council representative seat.
Tribal citizens Tamaleon Wilcox and Norman Running Sr. both filed nominating petitions to run for the Soldier Creek seat. The hearing is scheduled to hear a challenge on the eligibility of candidate Norman Running Sr.
Following the decision of the Election Board on the challenge, eligible candidates will be certified to be placed on the ballot. A Special Election to fill the Soldier Creek vacancy will then be scheduled by the tribal council.
The vacancy was created when the sitting tribal council representative, Kathleen Wooden Knife, was sworn in to serve as RST President last month. There are 2 years remaining of the 3-year term for the Soldier Creek tribal council seat.
The hearing will be held at the Webster Two Hawk, Sr. Annex building at 10am on Friday, October 11, 2024. For more information you may call the RST Election office at 605-747-2381.
