BELCOURT, N.D. (AP) – The Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa will have a new chairman.
Incumbent Richard Marcellais (MAR'-suh-lay) finished third among the four candidates in the tribal primary. Only the top two vote-getters advance to the Nov. 2 general election.
The Minot Daily News says tribal voters will choose between Merle St. Claire and Sam LaRocque for chairman. LaRocque lost to Marcellais in the 2008 election.
