•Why more Native Americans are on U.S. ballots than ever before
86% Informative
At least 170 Native American , Native Hawaiians , and Native Alaskans are on ballots this fall , an all-time high.
Organizers and others say more work needs to be done to have representation that is proportional to national population sizes.
The group has identified 347 current Native elected officials less than 0.1% of some 519,000 elected offices nationwide.
At least 246 candidates, including 140 incumbents, ran for office in 25 states this year .
Of those, 74 already won or lost their races, or withdrew or were disqualified, and are not on the November ballot.
Over half of the candidates running this year are female.
In Tennessee , Rep. Bryan Terry , a member of the Choctaw Nation , is running for reelection.
