#VoteBarnhardt

For those of you who don't know what #VoteBarnhardt is by now, my mom, Carla Barnhardt, has taken a step up and decided to run for Chief of Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory and I couldn't be more proud of her. For year's she has worked in the administration and has observed all the recklessness of the current Chief R. Donald's mistakes over the years. With some encouragement to members of council, no one has taken a stand to actively run against him, until now.

So, we're going to try something new here. Outreach and raise awareness, particularly with the members who are currently living/working on the reservation. However, acknowledgement to outside community members who still want to be involved with the voting process and helping the youth of Tyendinaga change their community for the better is still greatly important.

Although no official statements have been released by each of the running parties, I'd be very interested to read them and follow this election closely, not just because it's my own mother who's running, but because there's a different vibe in the air this time around. Awareness is becoming a main priority with the #VoteBarnhardt campaign. Even if people aren't #VotingBarnhardt as long as they're voting we would have done our job!!

Follow me on twitter and Facebook for all the campaign updates directly from the horses mouth.

Stay fabulous!
