GENERAL GENERAL Solidarity Update ELECTIONELECTION 2016 2016October 2016 October 2016 COVER ASEA PAC Supports PFD Voter Registration Among the state races, federal offices, and presidential electoral votes to be decided in November’s General Election, two ballot measures will also go before Alaska voters. PAGE 2 ASEA Endorsed Candidates The first ballot measure links Permanent Fund Dividend applications to voter registrations and House 1 - Scott Kawasaki would automatically register a PFD applicant to vote, if eligible. House 2 - Steve Thompson Senate B - Luke Hopkins Proponents assert that PFD Voter Registration will benefit young and rural Alaskans, House 3 - Christina Sinclair residents who relocate frequently, and military service members. By linking voter registration House 4 - David Guttenburg with PFD applications, all Alaskans can keep their voter registration current and accurate House 5 - Adam Wool without additional paperwork and effort. Famous Words of Solidarity The petition drive to qualify PFD Voter Registration for the ballot resulted in more than 46,000 PAGE 3 signatures from around the state. ASEA Endorsed Candidates (continued) The ASEA Political Action Committee voted unanimously to contribute a total of $10,000 to House 6 - Jason Land the campaign, adding its support with that of other organizations including AFL-CIO Alaska, BP House 7 - No Endorsement House 8 - No Endorsement Alaska, NAACP, ACLU, NEA-Alaska, and numerous regional and native corporations. House 9 - No Endorsement A broad coalition of organizations has thrown support behind the PFD Voter Registration House 10 - No Endorsement campaign to promote the concept and educate Alaskans.

The question itself does not authorize indebtedness, only adds post-secondary student loans to the narrow list of subjects for which voters can be asked that the state incur debt. Page 4 ASEA Endorsed Candidates (continued) According to a statement of support printed in the Official Election Pamphlet, “The debt will be Senate J - Tom Begich issued through the Alaska Student Loan Corporation (ASLC), which makes loans available to House 19 - Geran Tarr students at the lowest interest rates it can based on the bond market.” House 20 - Les Gara House 21 - Matt Claman In turn, borrowing students would pay back the loans and the program would operate at no House 22 - No Endorsement cost.

    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 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.

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
