Happy Thanksgiving to All of You
Dear Neighbors,
In the last year, we have had many new people participate in the public process and I want to thank you for your time and support as we work together during these tough times. This gives me hope for our future. These are challenging times and I am grateful to see new faces get involved. Thank you for your participation.
New Majority to Focus on Fiscal Crisis
The size and scope of the fiscal problems facing Alaska have spurred a dedicated group of Republicans, Democrats and Independents to come together and put aside party labels in order to work toward a fair and lasting solution.
Rep. Chris Tuck, seated at far left, answers questions from the press with other members of the new House Majority.
I am honored to have been elected by my colleagues to serve as House Majority Leader of this new coalition. As Minority Leader during the last session I joined in calling for a “caucus of the whole,” in which all Legislators were asked to set aside political differences and focus on working together towards fixing our fiscal problems.
The subsequent lack of action showed that change was badly needed. Our new coalition has united in a historic effort to create a new majority organization which will make the hard choices needed to protect our economy, Alaskan jobs, and essential services like schools and public safety.
Our goal is to work together with all legislators, the Administration of Governor Walker, and the people of Alaska to move forward and get the job done right.
Together we can fix the problem. Alaska faces many challenges, but we are also blessed with abundant natural resources and talented resilient citizens who are united behind the need to take action.

Because of all of you, public service has always been enjoyable and inspiring! In this time of Thanksgiving, I want to express my appreciation for everyone. Working with you has been an amazing opportunity for me. I appreciate your high standards, persistence and ideas.
As always, I’m here for you, so please keep in touch on matters important to you and your family!
May you enjoy this celebration with your family full of laughter and peace. Happy Thanksgiving!
Warm regards,
