Being home in Anchorage has been great. The downtown office is coming together, so please come by any time to say “Hi” (716 W 4th Ave Suite, 390). Throughout the past two weeks, I have had the pleasure of attending several community events as well as the opportunity to study some major projects directly affecting our community.

What a Turnout!
To all who were at the Anchorage Caucus on Saturday morning, thank you! Along with the other Anchorage legislators in attendance, I heard from 130 local Anchorage citizens.
