Yesterday, U.S. Senator Dan Sullivan addressed the Alaska legislature in joint session. After his speech, he took questions, but there wasn't time for mine. The video shows what I would have asked. #akleg #alaska
Clara Baldwin, the first deaf Fur Rondy Queen, has been a lifelong advocate for the rights of the deaf and hard of hearing community. She oversees the Alaska State School for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing. Hear her story here: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/c...

Thank you @marypeltola.com, for your courage! Let’s do this! #FishFamilyFreedom!
Monday in Juneau: fundraiser for Alaska State House & Senate bipartisan coalitions. 5-7 pm. Please come! Last chance to donate before session starts on Tuesday.
Hi again! Just wanted to say thank you for all the support today. It will take a village (or more than 227 villages), but we’re going to win this race for Alaska’s future. Join us at marypeltola.com!
My name is Mary Peltola, and I'm running for U.S. Senate to fight for fish, family, and freedom – and that begins with fixing the rigged system in DC that’s shutting down Alaska.
We need systemic change if we're going to lower costs, save our fisheries, and fill our homes with abundance again.
Today is an important day for our state — Mary Peltola has officially announced that she is running for Senate!!
We are entering a new chapter in Alaska — and it starts today.

Ma’am, I need serious help. Believe me.
Perhaps you can attend an event and make a more compelling video using skills from TikTok? That would be a great way to help.
Oh I apologize: the video is very weird. I did the best I could. I apologize for my lack of IT talent. The Alaska Dems didn’t find me. I did this myself. I am so sorry.
Tonight I introduced Matt Schultz at his 1st official campaign event for US Congress. Rev. Schultz has been advocating for all those with less in Alaska since 1997, & he's the leader we need in DC. Let's eliminate poverty & make healthcare affordable. mattschultzforalaska.com
I’ve known Rev. Matt Schultz for ~8 years & feel extremely confident that he’s the real deal. Authentic, good to his word, deeply compassionate & empathetic in the way that means he’s also brave about standing up to bullies, standing firmly FOR things that help us & firmly against harmful policies.
I’m singing in the Alaska Chambers Singers concert this weekend:

St Patrick’s Parish, 2111 Muldoon
Please come!
Last night 4 reporters resigned from the Peninsula Clarion in Kenai & the Homer News. Listen on my podcast to the Clarion’s lone news reporter @jakecdye.bsky.social explain his decision to walk & the future of journalism on the Kenai Peninsula:

Reporters at the Carpenter Media Group-owned papers in Kenai have resigned: “Though this decision is extremely painful for all of us, it is not difficult. We cannot do our jobs knowing that pressure from an elected official can mean our stories are edited without prior consultation with us.”

Thanks for the tag. Please listen to my most recent episode of the podcast: we talk about this extensively for the first 12 minutes:

On Wednesday we honored an organization & person, both fully committed to keeping Alaskans healthy. Anchorage Neighborhood Health Center is celebrating 50 years, and we surprised CEO Lisa Aquino with a citation for her career in community service. Thank you, ANHC and Lisa! #akleg
Also, She is furious with me for my support of this “leftist” newspaper.
I mean for the record, I have communicated with Vance about this
I have a more pessimistic view of the strength of our small town papers. I don’t think they can withstand a boycott of any kind
Vance didn’t know she got the story changed. She thought she got it taken down.
Thank you. If you punish our local newspapers for every mistake they make, totalitarians win: we need local journalism. They reposted the article — yes with some edits, but it’s more important that they stay in business.
The article is back up.
Alaska’s local journalism needs our support. Opponents of 🇺🇸 democracy know that our boots-on-the-ground reporters are the most trusted news sources, so they work overtime to discredit them.
