I’m really excited to be able to go home this weekend, along with Senator Begich, for our constituent pizza party. I can’t wait to check in with all of you, see how you and your family have been this winter, and answer any questions you might have. The meeting is at Clark Middle School at 10:30 am. We’ll have the meeting first, then have pizza for lunch. If you can’t make it, my office is always open, please don’t hesitate to call us at (907) 465-3424, or send an email voicing your concerns. If you don’t get my email newsletter, please send me an email at Rep.Geran.Tarr@akleg.gov to sign up.
