The North and Requa district seats
for the Yurok Tribal Council were decided in an
election Wednesday.
Incumbent Marjorie Donahue
Buckskin won the North District race, taking 56
percent of the vote against challenger Jack Mattz.
David L. Gensaw Sr. took 60.8
percent of the vote in the Requa District to beat
incumbent Ray Mattz.
Incumbent Sid Nix of the Weitchpec
District defeated his only challenger during an
earlier primary.
The other two races winnow a field
of 10 candidates during the primary, requiring the
Wednesday runoff of the top two candidates in the
North and Requa districts.
