#akleg A good bit from the Sullivan healthcare article in the ADN. Love a good juxtaposed fact.
When it comes to proposed reforms, Sullivan did not name any policies that would aim to curtail the power of insurance companies. Nor did he name any policies that could be used to incentivize greater competition in the Alaska insurance market. The proposed policies that Sullivan listed include tightening income requirements for accessing tax credits; requiring that all insurance enrollees pay a monthly premium (currently, enrollees below a certain income threshold pay nothing in premiums); and banning undocumented migrants from using the Affordable Care Act plans, which is already outlawed.

As if Alaskans don’t pay enough in shipping— the Trump tariffs are brutal! I paid $92 for a Christmas present, then got hit with $42 in “import fees” after it shipped. I wouldn’t have bought it if I had known my total was actually $134, but I’m not asking a small business for a refund. Ugh. #AkLeg

The Republican Women of Fairbanks PAC is the biggest political spender in our local elections. Spoiler: their top donors are mostly men. It’s funded by the owners Chena Hot Springs and Sunrise Bagel & Espresso.
❌ Boycott big MAGA corps (Amazon, Spotify, Walmart, etc) AND local MAGA money. #AkLeg
The biggest conservative donors in the 2025 Fairbanks municipal elections were: • $16,000 from Republican Women of Fairbanks PAC to the conservative candidates (Hull, Haney, Rotermund, Pruhs, McComas-Roe, and Burnett) • $10,000 from Brett Rotermund to his campaign ($5,500) and the other conservative candidates • $4,700 from the Alaska Republican Party to the conservative candidates The biggest donors to progressive candidates were the operating engineers union (IUOE 302 PAC: $5,500) and electrical workers union (IBEW 1547 PAC: $5,000). The "Republican Women of Fairbanks" PAC is the largest campaign funder in Fairbanks' local elections. Here are their top donors (2020-25): • Barbara Tyndall ($8,179), retired • Seth Church ($6,365), owner of Jewel Isaac, LLC and 14 other corporations and nonprofits that own residential rentals, commercial rentals, and more • Bernie Karl ($5,732), owner of Chena Hot Springs Resort and K&K Recycling • Bart LeBon ($4,155), former legislator • Cheryl Markwood ($3,139), owner of Markwood Realty, LLC and license holder for Republican Women of Fairbanks • Bill Vivlamore ($2,740), owner of Sunrise Bagel & Espresso • Mike Robbins ($2,240), owner of Project Alaska, Inc. Sources: State of Alaska APOC Database, 2020-25; State of Alaska Business License Database Top Republican donors’ businesses in Fairbanks: Sunrise Coffee (Bill Vivlamore), Chena Hot Springs (Bernie Karl), Jewel Isaac + many more (Seth Church). Screenshots of state of Alaska records. KUAC: At $3,000, Pruhs' largest contribution came from the Republican Women of Fairbanks, which gave the same amount to some other conservative candidates in this year's elections. Local author John Foley has given the biggest single donation to the O'Neall campaign at $5,000. Haney has the fundraising edge, according to the reports, with roughly $36,000 to Roach's $30,000. The Republican Women of Fairbanks have made the largest single donation to Haney's campaign, as well, also in the amount of $3,000. The biggest single contribution to Roach's campaign is $2,000, which came from Ellen Bagley, of Sitka.
