Sailing Your Way Sailing your Way November 5, 2021 Dear Friends and Neighbors, It's a short newsletter week. Shocking, right? As I send this the Redistricting Board is fighting hammer and tongs to finish a map. I'm honestly not sure what's going to come out. Stay tuned. Skagway Mayor Andrew Cremata stopped by the office Friday to talk about issues and opportunities on the horizon in the Garden City. Come Join the Fun! Does my newsletter make you wish you could follow legislative goings-on in even more detail? Want to help make it all happen? Well here’s your chance! The legislature is hiring non-partisan staff for the 2022 session. The Capitol couldn’t function without the extraordinary work of the many non-partisan folks who keep this place running, including Records and Teleconference. To find out about available positions, contact Skiff Lobaugh. Of course we also need Pages to keep our floor sessions on track! These are full time, session-only jobs. If you’re interested, email a resume and your driving record to Micaela Bradner and Romo Marasigan. I got to join the groundbreaking for the new Teal Street Center. More than a decade in the making, it will be a home for many of Juneau's amazing nonprofits! Going to Gustavus & Sailing to Skagway I’ve got some in-person events coming up the next two weeks in Gustavus & Skagway. (And Haines in December!) I hope to see you there.
