Members of the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation of Connecticut went to the polls on Sunday.

Two newcomers won election to the council. Roy E. Colebut-Ingram and Steven E. Colebut will serve three year terms, starting on January 1.

The race drew attention because two former chairmen -- Michael Thomas and Kenny Reels -- were running. Neither won enough votes to win a seat on the council.
