The Dec. 12 news graphic "How Abramoff Spread the Wealth" may have left the inaccurate impression that I had a connection to Jack Abramoff. While many Native Americans have supported my reelection efforts, I have never met Jack Abramoff or worked with him. The contributions to which the graphic referred were the product of my relationships with tribe members and leaders who also happened to have had the misfortune of being among Mr. Abramoff's alleged victims.
