Alaska State Legislature
ALASKA STATE LEGISLATURE May 1, 2020 Dear Governor Dunleavy, As epidemiologists and researchers learn more about the novel coronavirus, there is a growing body of evidence indicating the use of simple cloth face coverings can reduce transmission of COVID-19 when infected persons may be experiencing asymptomatic shedding of the virus. This means wearing face coverings can help to reduce spread in places experiencing active community-based transmission or where social distancing may be hard to maintain (like the grocery store, post office and other places of business). As your administration lays out plans to reopen Alaska, we urge you to issue an additional COVID-19 Health Mandate requiring Alaskans to wear face coverings in public, including both essential and non- essential businesses. We share the hope that our economy will be limitedly impacted by the necessary protective measures to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 and protect the lives of Alaskans, but we must proceed with great caution to reduce the danger of a significant second wave of infection as we attempt to return to a new normal. Wearing face coverings in public is a simple and highly effective measure we should all practice to protect one another, but the most effective way we can achieve this compliance will be through your leadership and guidance by issuing an additional health mandate. Thank you for your consideration, Sincerely, Representative Tiffany Zulkosky Representative Harriet Drummond Representative Matt Claman Representative Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins Representative Zach Fields Representative Geran Tarr Representative Andi Story CC: Commissioner Adam Crum, Department of Health and Social Services Dr.

Alaska State Legislature
ALASKA STATE LEGISLATURE Governor Mike Dunleavy 3rd Floor, State Capitol PO Box 110001 Juneau, AK 99811 <Delivered Electronically> August 25, 2021 Dear Governor Dunleavy, We are writing to request that you take immediate action to reduce the risk of COVID exposure in state workplaces with implementation of a mask requirement in common areas, areas used by the public, and shared workspaces. In addition, we urge you to work with public employee unions to establish vaccine incentives for state workers. The Delta variant is far more transmissible than previous COVID variants, and makes implementation of basic workplace safety standards extremely urgent. Many of Alaska’s hospitals are at capacity for treatment of COVID complications, meaning that state employees who contract COVID at work may be at risk of long-term health effects or death, particularly if they are unvaccinated. Many other states, localities, and private sector employers already are using a combination of mask requirements and vaccine incentives to reduce risk of COVID transmission on the job, and the state should be a leader in public health on its own job sites. Many state employees are front line workers directly serving the public. Other state employees must by nature of their job interact with other state employees. State operations must continue and are more likely to continue uninterrupted with proper public health guidelines in place. Implementation of masking is the least we can do to protect our state employees and ensure the public can access essential state services. Achieving higher vaccination rates reduces both likelihood of transmission and severity of infection in the event infection does occur.

ALASKA STATE LEGISLATURE WHILE IN SESSION WHILE IN ANCHORAGE STATE CAPITOL 1500 W BENSON BLVD JUNEAU, AK 99801 ANCHORAGE, AK 99503 (907) 465-3704 (907) 269-0169 May 5, 2020 Mayor Ethan Berkowitz 632 W 6th Avenue Suite 840 Anchorage, Alaska 99501 Dear Mayor Berkowitz, Thank you for your leadership during this challenging and unprecedented time. We appreciate your frequent briefings and inclusion of medical professionals, business leaders, and neighbors. We are writing today with deep concern regarding early distribution of the CARES Act funds that did not make it to many small businesses in Anchorage. As of April 16, over 5,000 Alaskan businesses have received emergency relief loan funds through the Federal CARES Act. However, during a recent discussion with Anchorage Community Land Trust (ACLT), we learned that a substantial number of businesses located in Anchorage’s economic opportunity zones have not been able to access those loans. According to a survey conducted by ACLT, many small businesses located in these economic opportunity zones are experiencing significant barriers in qualifying or applying for these federal loans. As the Paycheck Protection Program and Economic Injury Disaster Loans were specifically created to retain employees, small businesses with less than 50 employees that do not have sophisticated relationships with large financial institutions, a robust bookkeeping system, are seasonal, or are recent start-ups are left unable to access these loans. The net result of the above barriers means many small businesses located in Anchorage’s economic opportunity zones, specifically those that are minority and women-owned, are unable to access the financial resources needed to sustain their operations during the COVID-19 related mandatory closures.

Letter from Anchorage Assembly Members Urging the Alaska Legislature to Change State Law to Allow Judges to Consider Out-Of-State Convictions in Setting Bail
DRAFT LETTER FROM ANCHORAGE ASSEMBLY MEMBERS URGING THE ALASKA LEGISLATURE TO CHANGE STATE LAW TO ALLOW JUDGES TO CONSIDER OUT-OF-STATE CONVICTIONS IN SETTING BAIL March 14, 2018 HOUSE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE SENATE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE Rep. Matt Claman, Chair Sen. John Coghill, Chair Rep. Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins, Vice-Chair Sen. Mia Costello Rep. Gabrielle LeDoux Sen. Pete Kelly Rep. David Eastman Sen. Bill Wielechowski Rep. Chuck Kopp Sen. Click Bishop Rep. Lora Reinbold Rep. Charisse Millett Rep. Louise Stutes Rep. Tiffany Zulkosky Dear Chair Claman, Chair Coghill and Judiciary Committee Members, Thank you for your service. We write today urging you to promptly hold committee hearings on and advance HB295/SB150 for floor action. These bills were introduced at the start of the Legislative session and have sat in your respective Judiciary Committees for 54 days of a 90-day session without a hearing or any other action. If you do not take action, dangerous criminals will continue to be released into our communities to threaten the public and commit more crimes. Prior to passage of SB91, judges in Alaska used their discretion to assign bail, considering all factors relevant to protecting the public and assuring appearance at future criminal proceedings. SB91 created the mandatory Alaska 2 Scale (AK-2S) to determine bail for persons charged with crimes. AK-2S went into effect in January of this year. It soon became clear that there were serious problems. Specifically, the new bail system does not allow judges to consider out-of-state convictions. Passage of these bills would close this loophole.

FINAL Joint Ad Trade Letter in Opposition to Alaska HB 159 And
April 12, 2021 Alaska Governor Mike Dunleavy Office of the Governor P.O. Box 110001 Juneau, AK 99811-0001 The Honorable Senator Peter Micciche The Honorable Rep. Louise Stutes President of the Alaska Senate Speaker of the Alaska House of Representatives State Capitol Room 111 State Capitol Room 208 Juneau, AK 99801 Juneau, AK 99801 The Honorable Senator Shelley Hughes The Honorable Senator Tom Begich Alaska Senate Majority Leader Alaska Senate Minority Leader State Capitol Room 30 State Capitol Room 11 Juneau, AK 99801 Juneau, AK 99801 The Honorable Rep. Chris Tuck The Honorable Rep. Cathy Tilton Alaska House of Representatives Majority Leader Alaska House of Representatives Minority Leader State Capitol Room 216 State Capitol Room 404 Juneau, AK 99801 Juneau, AK 99801 RE: Letter in Opposition to Alaska HB 159 and SB 116 Dear Governor Dunleavy, Senate President Micciche, House Speaker Stutes, Senator Hughes, Senator Begich, Representative Tuck, and Representative Tilton: On behalf of the advertising industry, we oppose Alaska HB 159 and SB 116.1 We and the companies we represent, many of whom do substantial business in Alaska, strongly believe consumers deserve meaningful privacy protections supported by reasonable government policies. However, HB 159 and SB 116 contain provisions that could hinder Alaskans’ access to valuable ad-supported online resources, impede their ability to exercise choice in the marketplace, and harm businesses of all sizes that support the economy. To help ensure Alaskan businesses can continue to thrive and Alaskan consumers can continue to reap the benefits of a robust ad-supported online ecosystem and exercise choice in the marketplace, we recommend that the legislature undertake a study of available approaches to regulating data privacy before moving forward with enacting the onerous, and in some cases, outdated provisions set forth in these bills.

2020 Candidate Positions on Corrupt Practices in the Alaska Legislature
Center for Caucus Reform and Legislative Accountability 2020 Candidate Positions on Corrupt Practices in the Alaska Legislature /akleads /akleads akleadership.com/survey /akleads /akleads akleadership.com/survey 2020 Candidate Positions on Corrupt Practices in the Alaska Legislature LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN Dear Fellow Conservative, Alaska Conservative Leadership's Center for Caucus Reform and Legislative Accountability is committed to helping Alaska's legislators pursue and develop a culture of legislative accountability that preserves the public trust. Toward that end, the Center has authored and distributed to all legislative candidates our 2020 Corrupt Practices in the Alaska Legislature Candidate Survey. Surveys were sent to all candidates by electronic mail on August 4, 2020. The Center welcomed suggestions for this year's survey from our supporters and donors. The ten topics that were ﬁnally chosen for this year's candidate survey highlight several issues of concern that Alaska legislators have faced in recent years and that are likely to resurface in the future. By raising these issues now, we hope to prepare both voters and future legislators to understand and form an opinion about them before being faced with a decision on whether to maintain the status quo within the legislature or chart a new and better course. As of this writing, a number of candidates have yet to review their survey and submit their responses on these very important issues. If your candidate has not yet done so, please encourage them to complete their survey
