Demo Memo this Friday with Sen. Johnny Ellis and Ric Davidge

Sen. EllisDemo Memo logo
"Demo Memo" - A weekly report from your Democratic legislators in Juneau working for an Alaska that is safer, healthier, smarter, and richer.
         Please join Senator Johnny Ellis and Ric Davidge, President of the Vietnam Veterans of America Anchorage Chapter, this Friday at 4:30 pm for the "Demo Memo" on KUDO radio 1080 AM. This is a weekly segment on The Aaron Selbig Show, KUDO 1080's local progressive voice. Listen for Senator Ellis and a special guest to do the week in review... what happened in Juneau, what's happening with the special session and oil tax reform. The Demo Memo is only broadcast in Anchorage at this point, but we hope it will be available statewide soon.
