Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation chooses two for council

Monday, November 7, 2011  

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.
