DEAR TUNICA-BILOXI TRIBAL CITIZENS:

My name is Marshall Ray Sampson Sr., and I am running for reelection as Vice Chairman. I am a proud husband, father of five, and an acve member of this community. I am the son of Larry Sampson Sr. and the late Inez Pierite Sampson and grandson of the late former Vice Chairman Herman “Coutee” Pierite. On behalf of myself and my family, we humbly ask for your support.

Throughout my over 27 years of service to this Tribe, I’ve developed my skills and experience in everything from operations to finance to human resources and training. I believe that my decades of service to this community combined with the skills gained over this time make me the smartest choice to lead this Tribe alongside Chairman Pierite and the Tribal Council.

While my opponent seeks to divide this Tribe and to convince you all that I am not in my position to serve you but to serve myself, anyone who works with me or asks for my help knows that this is far from true. I do everything I can every day to make this Tribe stronger. In this last term as your Vice Chairman, we established the Seventh Generation and Elders Councils, negotiated approval for sports betting, and secured $30 million in funding.

If reelected, I hope to continue the success of these past few years by increasing our offering of social programs and creating diverse economic opportunities for the Tribe and all of our citizens. I promise to continue fighting to increase the scholarship funding for our students, establish a responsible revenue distribution plan, and to lead the Council in implementing reforms.

In this next term, I pledge to fight for all members of the Tribe with equal effort and to work tirelessly to build a stronger Tribe for you and for the future generations to benefit. If you have questions, want to discuss my plans for this next-term, or have concerns with my proposals, feel free to call me at (318) 305-2160.

 Tikahch,

Marshall Ray Sampson Sr.

Vice Chairman of Tunica Biloxi Tribe of Louisiana
