Dear Friends,

Summer is now in the rearview mirror and the beautiful colors of fall have arrived. And the first signs of frost were even visible last weekend. It's days like this when I'm glad I was able to take advantage of those beautiful summer days!

As always, I'm honored to serve and represent Senate District M. Please email me (mailto:[email protected]) , call my office at 907-269-0222, or visit us anytime to share you thoughts and concerns.
Blessings,

Make Sure You're Counted - Deadline 9-30-20

The 2020 U.S. Census is underway and Alaska is still lagging in the percent of Alaskans that have completed the Census. Every 10 years, as mandated by the Constitution the nation counts the population to determine the number of seats each state will have in the U.S House of Representatives and to determine how federal funds will be distributed to each state.
