Cherokee Nation tribal council edit
Deere first ran for the Cherokee Nation tribal council in 2011 against Lee R. Keener Jr.;[1] he lost the race.[2] Deere filed again in 2019, this time against district 13 incumbent Buel Anglen.[3] Deere challenged Anglen's candidacy under the 1999 Cherokee Nation Constitution's term limit provisions and the Cherokee Nation Election Commission disqualified Anglen from running.[4][5] The Cherokee Nation Supreme Court affirmed the Election Commissions decision.[6] With Anglen disqualified, Deere was unopposed in the 2019 election.[7] The court dismissed a later appeal by Anglen for a new election.[8] He was sworn on August 15, 2019.[9] He is running for re-election in the 2023 Cherokee Nation tribal council elections.[10]
