Letter to the voters:
Hello, (Bozho)
My name is Jahn Eric Humphreys, son of John Eckford Humphreys, son of Teresa (Slavin) Reed, and father of Jeremy Erin, grandfather of Carys Jane, and husband to Ms. Karla Rae for the last 27 years. I live in San Leon, Texas, on Galveston Bay, in Galveston County, Texas, where I am self-employed as an attorney specializing in family law, with an emphasis on the protection of children and families. I graduated from University of Houston Downtown Campus with a Bachelor’s Degree in Petroleum Land Management in 1986 and graduated from Mississippi College School of Law, in Jackson, Mississippi in 1992. I am past president of the Galveston County Family Bar Association and past president of the Galveston County Mediation Association. I am also a founding board member of the Bay Area Turning Point, a domestic violence shelter. I am running for the District 3 legislative position for the simple reason that I want to be a meaningful part of Citizen Potawatomi Nation’s future in bringing tribal culture, medical care, education, economic assistance, political awareness and power to the people of this Nation.
I welcome your questions and opinions. Please call me or email me if you wish to ask me anything or if I can address a concern of yours.
Above all, please vote.
