My name is Louis D. Taylor, and I humbly announce my candidacy for re-election to the Lac Courte Oreilles Tribal Government. I remain committed to service, guided by our sovereignty, and dedicated to protecting the interests of all our people, from our youngest to our elders, and the generations to come.
As a member of the governing board, I have been a steadfast voice for our people at federal, state, and local levels, demanding respect and recognition of our sovereign rights. I carry forward the legacy of our ancestors, ensuring we are heard not just as individuals, but as a united and enduring nation.
When I joined the tribal board, I knew we were already strong—rooted in wisdom and sacrifice—but there was more work ahead. I’m proud of the progress we’ve made revitalizing our language and teachings, expanding opportunities for youth, improving healthcare, growing our economy, and asserting our sovereignty.
Our youth are not just our future, they are our present. Every decision I make is grounded in our responsibility to prepare a better path for them. We must continue investing in education, leadership, and resource protection.
Financial responsibility, sovereignty, and strong governance are not just ideals, they are the principles that guide my work. I have fought to ensure every dollar spent reflects our people’s priorities and to strengthen our right to self-determination through wise stewardship.
In this campaign, I chose not to engage in negativity. Our people deserve leaders who rise above division and focus on unity, solutions, and hope.
I am proud of what we’ve accomplished together and believe the best is still ahead. I respectfully ask for your support and your vote. Miigwech for standing with me as we continue building a future that honors our past and serves generations to come.
