Members of the Alaska House Majority Coalition are diving deep into the issues we address during session. We’ve met with representatives from the Dalton Highway, the UAF Engineering Department, and the Usibelli Mine to learn more about critical infrastructure in our state #akleg
Spotted! Legislative session might be over for the year, but the Alaska House Majority Coalition’s work is never done. Our members love meeting with constituents during the interim. Who do you recognize? #akleg

Last week I had the honor to present a 2024 #akleg citation to a person who is truly dedicated to the people she serves, Joelene Fortin. She has worked for Hope Community Resources for 40 years & manages an assisted living home in Anchorage. Her love & care for people with disabilities is inspiring.

My best friends are social workers. So I was beyond honored for National Association of Social Workers - Alaska, to name me, along with my wonderful colleagues Sen. Elvi Gray-Jackson and Sen. Löki Tobin, as a legislator of the year. I promise to support SWs in all the essential work they do. #akleg

Did you know that internet-based companies like Amazon don’t currently pay taxes in Alaska? 36 other states fixed this loophole & AK was about to, but Gov Dunleavy just vetoed Senate Bill 113. SB113 leveled the playing field so that AK small businesses that already pay taxes could compete w Amazon.
Filipinos in Alaska have pioneered union organizing, made national headlines through their food and media, and made history in #AKLEG. Our member Rep. Genevieve Mina @repmina.bsky.social passed a law commemorating Filipino American History Month in state statute. We wish Alaska a happy #FAHM!

At Anchorage Fire Dept Station 14 today, I had a robust conversation with AFD leaders & line fighters about challenges in our community. Also, got to personally thank firefighters who saved my home from a fire last month. So grateful for their fast response & expert work. #akleg

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
Latino Alaskans have made significant contributions to Alaska’s history and culture, from winning national awards in sports to starting standout newspapers and radio programs. We join almost 50,000 Alaskans in celebrating a happy Hispanic Heritage Month!

Rep. Ted Eischeid is the #akleg House representative for North Muldoon in Anchorage, & his wife Hedy Eischeid is President of the Anchorage Democrats. Both were teachers in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, before moving to AK.

Heard from Alaskans during Townhall on the Tustumena ferry between Chignik & Old Harbor. Some issues of concern: the importance of AK Marine Highway, high cost of energy, & need for additional revenue. Grateful to Rep. Stutes, Rep. Edgmon Representative Dibert & Representative Eischeid & Cpt. Mayer.
Legislators spent years crafting bipartisan reforms to Alaska’s foster care system. So why hasn’t the Dunleavy administration implemented the law? Read Rep. Gray’s full response to the audit of Alaska’s Office of Children’s Services #akleg @repgray.bsky.social
Opinion: The state needs to follow the law to help Alaska foster children
Our caseworkers and foster children deserve better than a politicized and failing system.

From union organizing to teaching Alaskans about workplace safety, we are grateful to the countless Alaskans who have made our state a safer place to work — and live.

Happy Labor Day, Alaska!

Alaska needs more health care providers. Physician Assistants help fill the gap. Our local Medex program grows Alaska-based PAs.
It was an honor to speak at Friday's 2025 Medex graduation, and send another well-qualified crew of medical providers out to care for Alaskans. #akleg

On Friday morning I joined students, teachers & staff at Wendler Middle School to celebrate the new school year & give a legislative citation to Jenny McAvoy-Anteau, a longtime special education teacher who retired from Wendler in May.
Thank you for your service, Jenny! #akleg

7 years ago, the Legislature passed major reforms in HB151 to meaningfully improve our foster system, and do better for youth in OCS care.
Since then, the State has continually failed to actually reform. The state needs to follow the law. #akleg #alaska
