The first session of the 29th Alaska Legislature is well under way, and Alaska’s fiscal crisis has taken center stage as I am faced with decisions affecting the lives of my friends and neighbors in Anchorage. In order to provide the best representation possible, it is important that I hear your thoughts and opinions on this and the other major issues of the session.
Dear Friends and Neighbors,
Please join me tomorrow for an Interior Delegation constituent meeting Saturday, February 14th. I will be unable to be there in person, but will join via video conference and respond to questions.

I was so happy to see everyone at the constituent meetings this week. We enjoyed salad, breadsticks, and great conversation at Tyson Elementary, Wonder Park Elementary, and the Anchorage Unitarian Universalist Church.
Today started with something very special. I am so honored that acclaimed children’s author Julie Cook wanted to meet me. I attended her presentation at Susitna Elementary and it was awesome!
We are sprinting towards the end of the 28th Alaska State Legislature and multiple bills are passing the House every day. As of this writing, we have more than 25 pieces of legislation that have passed out of committee and are waiting to be voted on in the House. My office has been working diligently to ensure everything is properly vetted before we vote. It is our duty as legislators to ensure we only pass legislation that is beneficial to all Alaskans and I will continue to work hard for Fairbanks and Alaskan families.
