Heather Campbell Gaming Commissioner Heather is a member of the Coyote Valley Tribe. Jasmine Mora Gaming Commissioner T’sin ta mana! My name is Jasmine Mora, and I am an enrolled member of the Coyote Valley Band of Pomo Indians. I have had the honor of sitting on the Coyote Valley Gaming Commission as its secretary since August of 2024. My first opportunity to be employed was at our very own Coyote Valley Casino at the age of 17. As a dish prep, I worked my way up to a supervisor position. With this experience, I later went on to opening and co-owning my own restaurant in town, which unfortunately is no longer open. It was a huge learning experience. I then found myself working for my tribe at the Coyote Valley Casino once again, leading to my newfound role in policy review, compliance and implementation as a Gaming Commissioner, allowing me to further our Tribe’s gaming enterprise. Ultimately, taking on this position has set me in the direction to learning and understanding more about Indian gaming and our own Tribal Government as well.
