TULSA, Okla. — Former two-term Oklahoma Congressman Brad Carson will be deploying out of state as a member of a military reserve unit.

Cherokee Nation spokesman Mike Miller says the 41-year-old Carson will leave his current post as CEO of Cherokee Nation Businesses.

After Carson departs, Miller says Cherokee Nation Enterprises CEO David Stewart will become CEO of Cherokee Nation Businesses.

Carson did not return calls from the Tulsa World, and Miller would not go into detail about Carson’s deployment, saying Carson did not want publicity about it.

In 2000, Carson successfully ran for Oklahoma’s 2nd congressional seat as a Democrat, winning re-election in 2002. He ran unsuccessfully for the Senate against Tom Coburn in 2004.
