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of available approaches to regulating data privacy before moving forward with enacting the onerous, and in some cases, outdated provisions set forth in these bills.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

Alaska Legislative Digest No
Bradners’ laska Legislative Digest A- Commentary on Alaska issues and policy PUBLISHERS: Mike Bradner, Tim Bradner / Business Office: (907) 440-6068 / 3037 South Circle Anchorage, AK 99507 / Fax: (907) 345-5683 Digest No. 1/2021 Jan. 22, 2021 Senate: Seasoned hands at the helm The state House, split 20-20, has yet to organize but the Senate organized itself quickly and smoothly last week, dispelling fears that differences among the 13 Republicans would cause delays. Senate leaders include experienced hands Sens. Peter Micciche, R-Kenai, as President; Bert Stedman, R-Sitka and Click Bishop, R-Fairbanks, as Finance Committee cochairs, and Gary Stevens, R-Kodiak, as Rules chair. Sen. Shelley Hughes, R-Mat-Su, is Majority Leader. Senate organizers threw the hard-right crowd a bone by giving Sen. Lora Reinbold, R-Eagle River, chair of the Judiciary Committee. There are seven Senate Democrats. As expected, Sen. Lyman Hoffman, D-Bethel, joined the Senate Majority, as he has in the past. Rural lawmakers representing large districts must be pragmatic and often set aside partisan affiliations to represent constituents. The Senate’s new leaders, all experienced, also know it is better to have the canny Hoffman inside the tent than outside. Fears of control by Mat-Su, governor averted There were fears initially that the Senate would wind up being controlled this year by hard conservative senators from the MatSu with Gov. Mike Dunleavy pulling strings behind the scenes. In that scenario, the key issue would have been the governor’s push for large Permanent Fund dividends, which most senators feel can’t be afforded.
