From Juneau to You! The First Regular Session of the 32nd Legislature convenes on January 19th, 2021. Below, are my priorities. Budget Developing a comprehensive and sustainable budget. For the current budget, ensuring that Education, Medicaid, and other services that affect our most vulnerable citizens are protected. PFD Revising the PFD formula and constitutionally protecting it now and for future generations. Holiday Currently, Juneteenth is recognized in State Statues. I will introduce a bill to designate Juneteenth (June 19th) as a paid State Holiday in unification with the 4th of July. Police Reform I also have been working this summer, with Senator Begich, on a Police reform packet of bills that I call, “Turning Pain into Progress” also known as TPIP. There are nine proposed bills that will deal with specific policies that have been proven, with data, to reduce police violence. It is essential that proper training and protocol is followed within the system to protect our citizens while in the line of duty. Our caregivers are working in heroic ways during this pandemic. "I just wanted to say thank you for all of your dedication in caring for those in our community who are ill. While we are tucked safely in our homes, you are on the front lines caring for complete strangers and putting your life at risk. I am forever grateful."
