We talk about the issues facing our communities and about my bid for the Anchorage Assembly’s Midtown seat. The Anchorage mayoral and Assembly races are deliberately nonpartisan, so the voting members of these local offices focus on providing essential public services rather than upholding a political platform. These elected officials need to cooperate, and partisan politics is not known for fostering cooperation. I’m an undeclared voter, mother, foster mom, wife, friend, attorney and small-business owner, and I’m a neighbor who has chosen to live in Midtown and cares deeply about the future of our neighborhoods. I’m the kind of person who believes that more can be done with less, close neighbors build strong and safe neighborhoods, and the government should be representative of the people. These issues won’t be solved with Democratic or Republican solutions. They’ll be solved by listening to each other, working together, and doing what’s right for Anchorage. I know I want to hear from you. The views expressed here are the writer’s and are not necessarily endorsed by the Anchorage Daily News, which welcomes a broad range of viewpoints.
