Members of the Crow Tribe of Montana will go to the polls twice next week, with November 6 being the tribal election.
Chairman Carl Venne is running for re-election. He says economic development and creating jobs are his top priorities.
Challenger Calvin "Coolidge" Jefferson says his goal is to restore faith in the tribal government. He says Venne's administration has benefited only a few tribal members and that the tribe has been beset by corruption.
