| Jason, Yesterday, the Alaska Legislature fell just 1 vote short of overriding Gov. Dunleavy's education bill veto, which included the largest base student allocation increase in Alaska history. Securing a veto-proof supermajority in the Alaska Legislature is not only necessary but achievable. With your help, we will build the largest grassroots state-wide team Alaska has ever seen to defeat anti-public school extremists who voted against overriding the Governor's veto and flip the most competitive State House races. |
| Anchorage Republican Rep. Tom McKay voted AGAINST overriding the Governor's veto despite representing House District 15 (Sand Lake, Campbell Lake area), a district that is already struggling with overcrowded classrooms and potential school closures. Northwest Arctic and North Slope Republican Rep. Thomas Baker was the only member of the rural Bush Caucus to vote AGAINST overriding the Governor's veto after being appointed by the Governor. He put politics over expanded broadband access for students in villages across his district. It's clear that Gov. Dunleavy and those Republicans who defended his veto don't care about our children, our families, our educators, or the future of our state. That's why we're working to secure a veto-proof supermajority in November! Will you help us fight back against Gov. Dunleavy's anti-public school agenda by chipping in $5 today to help us elect public school champions across Alaska who will give our schools the support and resources they need? |
| Thank you for standing by our side in the fight for our student's future! Alaska Democratic Party |
