Ralph Reed pressed by rival to document tribal ties
Friday, June 24, 2005

Ralph Reed should document his ties to tribes, his Republican opponent in Georgia's lieutenant governor race said.

Reed accepted $10,000 from the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians in his bid to become chairman of the state Republican party. The tribe says it did not authorize the donation and Reed says he assumed it came from disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff.

Casey Cagle, Reed's opponent in the primary, says Reed should list all of his donors for the state party bid. Cagle has been trying to make an issue out of Reed's tribal ties.
