Chairman of Quapaw Tribe endorses Democrat Hillary Clinton

The leader of the Quapaw Tribe of Oklahoma is vowing to do whatever it takes to ensure Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton wins the November election.

Chairman John Berrey said he's been "proud" to call himself a Republican since 2002. But he won't be supporting his party's presumptive nominee, Donald Trump, who has faced criticism for his views about tribes, women and minorities.

"Moving forward, we need a president who will be inclusive and reach out to all people," Berrey said in a statement on Tuesday. "We need a president who has the experience and ability to bring the nation together and work as a team for the betterment of all, regardless of race, income or gender."

"Having met Hillary and talked with her about her vision for the future, I believe she is the best person to occupy the Oval Office," Berrey added.
