Cherokee Nation council confirms Deborah Proctor to Election Commission

Cherokee Nation Council Committee · January 13, 2026

Summary

The Cherokee Nation council unanimously approved a resolution confirming Deborah Proctor as a commissioner on the Cherokee Nation Election Commission after a brief introduction and remarks from Proctor.

Councillors voted to confirm Deborah Proctor as a commissioner of the Cherokee Nation Election Commission after Proctor introduced herself and described a long career in nursing and community service. Councillor Hall introduced the resolution and it received a second from Councillor McGaty; the chair called for a voice vote and declared the motion passed.

Proctor told the council she grew up on Indian boarding school campuses and said she would be honored to "continue to give back to our tribe and to Indian Country." She noted nearly 50 years in nursing and recent contract work and said she has been involved in elections historically in her family.

The council did not record a roll-call vote on the resolution in the transcript; the chair announced the motion passed by voice vote. The council proceeded to the next agenda items.
