Tribe's current operations secretary could be commissioner

SYLVA – It depends on the election results in Jackson County, but should Commissioner Ron Mau (R-Jackson) succeed in his bid to become chair, Tribal Secretary of Operations Jeremy Hyatt could be another tribal voice in another county government. Hyatt was appointed to fill the remaining two years of Mau’s staggered term should Mau become the county’s next chairperson. If that happens Hyatt will have to balance his duties to the tribe with those of the county.

Jackson County Republican Party Chair Ralph Slaughter, who’s known Hyatt since his days working with Principal Chief Michell Hicks, praised the pick. “Ron Mau is a good friend of Jeremy’s. He has worked with him on the Jackson County Planning Board. I think the consensus is that he would make a great commissioner for Jackson County.”
