May 5, 2016
Anchorage – Representative Geran Tarr (D-Anchorage) is highlighting some of the valuable research being undertaken by students and faculty at the University of Alaska by sponsoring the University of Alaska Anchorage Undergraduate Research and Discovery Symposium today in Anchorage.

My goal has always been to support a long term, comprehensive fiscal solution, and I spoke about that at a press conference earlier this month.
