Chris Deschene statement:"Supporters, I’m very disappointed in today’s Supreme Court decisions. This isn’t about the $6,130.83 I was absurdly ordered to pay to remove myself from the ballot by covering my opponents legal fees. Or the presidency I was striving to earn. This is about the message the court sent to you.
This ruling could have a chilling effect on the future of our elections. It sends a dangerous message that your vote doesn’t count.
This upsets me most. Because as Dine, we have an election Tuesday, despite the uncertainty of my candidacy. We have a congressional representative to elect. We have a governor to choose. We have council positions to fill. We have school board and chapter positions to fill. It’s our responsibility to vote.
As far as the future of my presidency, we have one remaining option, and that’s the pending veto override. Call your delegates. Voice your support.
And know that regardless of the outcome, I appreciate your ongoing support. I’m proud of what we have accomplished, together.
Vote Tuesday. It's critical."
