PEMBROKE — A single candidate filed Friday to run for a seat on the Lumbee Tribal Council in the Nov. 9 election.

Lee Albert Barefoot, 43, of Maxton, is seeking to fill a District 12 seat on the 21-member council. District 12 encompasses Scotland County, Maxton and Alfordsville.

“I’m running for a seat on the council because I would like to be able to help the elderly and disabled,” Barefoot said. “I’d like to be a voice for them.”

Barefoot, who is running for his first public office, works as a pipe installation fabricator.

He is married to Helen Barefoot and has four children, Lee Albert Barefoot Jr., Justin Lynn Chavis, Natasha Ann Chavis, and Hazel Marie Barefoot. He also has three grandchildren, Jabarie Lynn Chavis, Desmond Barefoot, and Alisa Barefoot.

Friday ended the first week of the candidate filing period, which continues through Sept. 10.
