Chief candidates speak on the issues

Over the last four years, Richard Sneed and Teresa McCoy have found themselves on the opposite side of many an argument, and in September the incumbent chief will face the former Big Cove councilmember once more, at the ballot box.

Sneed was elected as vice chief in 2015 but sworn in as principal chief following the impeachment of then-Chief Patrick Lambert in May 2017. He’ll be seeking his first elected term to the seat against McCoy, a 20-year veteran of the Tribal Council who positioned herself as a staunch opponent of the impeachment process and of Sneed’s swearing-in as chief.
