Alaska House Majority Coalition

I'll be in Ketchikan this weekend! I hope to see you while I am in town. On Saturday, I am inviting everyone to have coffee with me at the Landing. Join me at the Landing Board Room from 10am to noon. Coffee is on me - all you have to bring is questions, concerns, or suggestions for the upcoming legislative session.

Last week, I was pleased to join a House Majority Coalition comprised of Democrats, Independents, and Republicans who are committed to working together to address Alaska’s challenges. I'm also looking forward to continuing my work as House Judiciary Committee Chair. Moving forward, I remain committed to an effective and efficient government that puts Alaskans first. I believe we should prioritize....

After the longest stalemate in state history, we voted to elect Representative Bryce Edgmon as Speaker, with a shared leadership team and caucus membership that includes Democrats, Republicans, and Independents. I was honored to cast a vote in support of Speaker Edgmon, and am looking forward to fulfilling our job of developing and passing a state budget. As one of my colleagues said in supporting Speaker Edgmon, “To hell with politics—let’s do what’s right for Alaska.”

The House has elected Speaker Bryce Edgmon (Dillingham) and we are full steam ahead. As a member of the House Bi-partisan majority (8 Republicans, 2 Independents, 15 Democrats), I look forward to working with our coalition to support a full PFD, improve public safety and protect education, health care, seniors and veterans.
