Cherokee Nation AT-Large Candidate Forum Contacts

Julia Coates, James Smay, and Craig Hood

We would like to express our heartfelt appreciation for your participation in the recent candidate forum for the Cherokee Nation AT-Large election. Your willingness to engage with the community and share your vision for the future of our tribe is a testament to your commitment to serving the Cherokee Nation.

We also extend our sincere appreciation to Rose State College for hosting the event. We are grateful for their generous support in providing a venue for this important event, which allowed us to engage with each of the candidates and learn more about their plans for our community. For those who were not able to attend the event, the forum video can be found on the COCA Facebook page at the following link: https://www.facebook.com/COCACherokees/.

Despite the absence of Jarrod Coody due to a family emergency, we were fortunate to have the opportunity to hear from Julia Coates, James Smay, and Craig Hood, and gain insight into your unique perspectives and proposed plans for our tribe.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank each of you for your dedication and hard work in running for the Cherokee Nation AT-Large seat. Your commitment to serving our community is admirable and greatly appreciated.
