MASHANTUCKET, Conn. (AP) – The Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Council has voted to re-elect Rodney Butler to serve as its chairman for a fourth consecutive three-year term.

Daniel Menihan was re-elected for a second term on the council, and former Vice Chairman Richard Sebastian also won a council seat Sunday.

The council manages the tribe and tribal-owned business enterprises including the Foxwoods Resort Casino.

Butler worked in the finance department at Foxwoods before leaving to serve on the Tribal Council in 2004.

The new council-elects will be sworn into office in January.
