Los Angeles, California, USA - Social media has been abuzz with rumors that retired Costanoan Tribal Court Justice Cary Lee Peterson of the Indian Canyon Tribal Community in California is planning to run for public office. The speculation comes after Congressman McCarthy's resignation on December 31, 2023, which left the federal legislative seat in District 20 of California vacant. The general election for this seat is set to take place in November.

Peterson, who has a long history of advocating for the rights of indigenous communities, has not confirmed or denied the rumors. However, his name has been circulating on various social media platforms, with many expressing their support for his potential candidacy. This has sparked discussions about the potential impact of having a Native American representative in Congress.

The Indian Canyon Tribal Community, located in the heart of California's Silicon Valley, has a rich history and culture that dates back thousands of years. Peterson, who served as a Tribal Court Justice for over a decade, has been a vocal advocate for preserving and promoting the traditions and values of his community. If he does decide to run for public office, it is expected that he will bring this same passion and dedication to representing the people of District 20.

The election for the vacant seat in District 20 is still months away, but the rumors surrounding Peterson's potential candidacy have already sparked interest and excitement. As the first Native American to potentially hold this position, Peterson's potential campaign has the potential to make history and bring much-needed representation to indigenous communities in California. As the election draws closer, all eyes will be on Peterson and whether he will officially announce his candidacy for the vacant seat in District 20.
