Mashantucket — Two members of the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Council were re-elected Sunday in voting among tribal members, the tribe announced.

Both Latoya Cluff and Matthew Pearson, whose seats on the seven-member council were the only ones up for election, won second three-year terms. Voting took place in person at the Mashantucket Pequot Community Center, where COVID-19 safety protocols were observed, including social distancing and early voting for tribal elders.

In a separate vote following the general election, tribal members re-elected Cluff vice chairwoman.

"Latoya and Matthew have opted to lead during one of the most harrowing times in our history, and we thank them for their sacrifices," Rodney Butler, the council chairman, said in a statement. "We congratulate them and look forward to working together in service to our tribal nation."

Cluff chairs the tribe's Community Planning and Housing committees. A graduate of the University of New Haven, she holds a master's degree in labor relations with a concentration in human resources management. She obtained a bachelor's degree in business management from Johnson and Wales University.

Pearson, who chairs the tribe's Health and Human Services and Natural Resources Protection committees, serves as council secretary. He holds a bachelor's degree in media and communications from Muhlenberg College as well as a certificate in publishing from the University of Denver's Publishing Institute.

The council governs the 1,100-member tribe and oversees management of several tribally-owned enterprises, including Foxwoods Resort Casino, the Mashantucket Pequot Museum and Research Center, Pequot Health Care, the Lake of Isles golf club in North Stonington and the Spa at Norwich Inn.

In addition to Butler, the other members of the council are Merrill Reels, who serves as treasurer, Richard E. Sebastian, Crystal Whipple and Daniel Menihan.
