Once a year, you have a say in the management of CEA and an opportunity to vote at or before the annual meeting.

Here in this temporary respite from the cacophonous grind of partisan sniping, Anchorage can seize a brief moment for reflection.

We want to secure a future of opportunity for our children, one where we have plenty of good jobs and affordable energy.

How can we use language and policy to unite people across different groups and strengthen an effective movement away from the present intolerable situation?

This Long Trail will only place more restrictions on Alaskans for using our lands.

Democracy is far too important to be driven purely by decisions based on the dollar cost of elections, including runoffs.

Spirited debate among lawmakers is healthy, but too often our elected officials have shown a willingness to back into partisan corners.

She ran to be an independent voice that would put Alaska above the Democratic Party, but now is facing a reality where she can’t risk putting our needs above her own reelection chances.
