Election of Tribal member as Mayor of Winton

The Meherrin Indian Tribe is extremely pleased to announce the recent election of the new Mayor of Winton, Tiffany Michell Lewis.  Mayor Lewis was sworn in at the Winton Town Hall on December 5, 2011. Immediately following the election, she presided over her first meeting.

Mayor Lewis is a member of the Meherrin Indian Tribe, and the daughter of Chief Thomas Lewis. Mayor Lewis ran for Mayor due to an interest in preserving the history and securing an optimistic future for its inhabitants. Mayor Lewis is a small business owner and resident of Winton, North Carolina, who loves and cherishes the town and its people. In addition, she is a staunch supporter of the Meherrin Tribe and has always been active in tribal functions and issues.

We congratulate Mayor Tiffany Lewis, and propose that many more Meherrin Tribal members reach to other political offices as they present themselves. Again, congratulations. You are a role model and example to our children to strive higher!!!
