- Native Representation
I will work to establish a place at the table for Native Americans. I will work with Indian Country to expand the rolls they play in the state and national party organizations, and I fully support Native participation in the electoral process, not just as voters but as candidates. Native American values are those of the Democratic Party: taking care of those who need a helping hand and giving a voice to those who have not had representation.

-Tribal Sovereignty
I fully support complete Tribal Sovereignty and will further this issue on behalf of the Native American people on a federal level. By doing so we can keep our inherent character as Indian people. In the process, we will preserve a legacy for our future generations.

Myrick Caught "Asleep At The Wheel" On Driving Jobs To District 9

Charlotte, NC- Native American small business owner Jeff Doctor announced on Monday February 22, 2010 that he is running for Congress in North Carolina's 9th Congressional District.  

"In these tough economic times, we need more leaders in Washington who understand economic development and what it takes to create jobs.  As a small business owner, I understand the challenges that North Carolina families and small businesses are facing on a daily basis." Doctor said.  "I've been active in this community and have been involved in a number of small businesses.  I had to work my way up so I know what it means to work hard and struggle to make ends meet."
