I worked for Jim as a lawyer when he was Tribal Chairman. Jim showed a keen mind, a deep commitment to the welfare of his tribal community, and an excellent ability to communicate and advocate with the new Administration and with Congress. It is a pleasure to endorse Jim.

Joe Valandra

James is a visionary leader with intelligence and energy. He is an effective communicator that motivates people to action. He is well thought of in Indian Country and has played important roles in moving and changing policies. I look forward to working with James in the future.
