This❗️Write and call your #akleg Senators now about AKLNG pipeline. They’re are skeptics in the Senate, even some Republicans like Senate Majority Leader Giessel (R). She has indicated she doesn’t want to pass this under Dunleavy.

Hawaii just passed the first state law in the country banning corporations from making political donations in state elections. Now a Koch-backed legal group is suing to overturn it. Big Money won't get out of our politics without a fight — one that we the people must win. (via @levernews.com)

This is really interesting, from a legit expert. I had been aware of the potential at Augustine, but not so much the Copper Basin. The state did a big assessment of fossil and geothermal energy resources a while back that must have discussed it to some extent. I'll see if I can dig that up.

Juneau!! let's fix our city budget! because we love our town.

Cities all over Europe have lowered speed limits to 30km/h which is a bit less than 20mph and have significantly lowered traffic fatalities. You can put in speed bumps to if you lack enforcement to help slow people down.

Lower the speed limit on Tudor Road. Testify to the Alaska Dept of Transportation that 45mph is too fast. Wednesday, 5:30pm pm - pm, at the Loussac Library in the Library Theater. Everyone gets 3 minutes to testify. Please come. #akleg #pedestriansafety #akdot

I remember in 2022 when the Republicans ran a candidate named "Forrest" in East Anchorage against Donna Mears and he sent out a mailer using my logo that said "Vote for Forrest," to confuse voters in a district I represented on the Assembly.

Sen. Kiehl says all the updated data is great, but does anything change the fact that phase one-only saddles Alaska with non-competitive gas prices? AGDC's Kissinger says that the export facilities will make it cheaper. Not really an answer.

When FBI agents obtained a warrant for Irizarry’s phone, they found ‘a gap of data between January 1, 2021 and January 8, 2021, which suggests that Irizarry deleted information from his cell pertaining to his involvement on January 6,’ prosecutors said. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

This is a 📷 from when Tom was in the State Senate #akleg & I was there w/ work but I had to bring my breastfeeding baby Rio w/ me, so Tom helped me out -- b/c moms often need extra sets of hands while multi-tasking. We've worked together on community justice, public health, & youth voice projects

Here's the campaign website if u want to see what you think. I've known Tom for 19 years; worked w/ him on community justice, social service, and public health projects; been to events for the scholarship fund he runs under his dad's name; met w/ him when he was in #akleg: www.tombegichforalaska.com

If you're in Anchorage #AlaskaSky tonight, I'd love you to join me, the other co-hosts listed in the flyer below, & the host, for fresh AK fish & a chance to talk w/ & hear from Tom Begich & Julia Hnilicka. There's so much at stake & we cannot bear to have another term of Dunleavy-like politics.
