Speaking with the help of residents of Whatcom County. The people of Whatcom County elected you Doug Ericksen in 2018 to serve a four year term to the 2022 session. According to my friend Joel Connelly from the Seattle PI that you will be lobbying for Cambodia. You decided to take this job as you know the Washington State ethics law prohibits you from lobby while serving in the state legislature. Citizens of Whatcom County would like you to resign preferably after session not before. Let's since this is long year since we are in a year ending in odd. In the 106th day of session please resign and not before. The citizens of Whatcom County will respect you if you. Since you won this seat by 45 votes in 2018. The Washington State Democrats could possibly flip this seat. This district has a history of being a swing district the Republicans have always had this seat. This district contains most of Whatcom and splits Bellingham. Do not worry if you resign after session the Whatcom County GOP PCO's will choose five names then the Whatcom County Council will narrow three to three names then Governor and wannabe President Jay Inslee who has not accomplished anything except gun control by initiative will select your successor then you have a special election in August primary and then the top two candidate regardless of party advance to the November general election due a 2004 Initiative 872 passed by voter and confirmed by the Supreme Court in 2008 by a 7-2 in favor. Can not guarantee the incumbent will win do to swing district. The Democrats could take due to history. Please resign Doug and make it effective on Day 105 of session please sincerely the Whatcom County voters
As of current Kai Binkley Sims is down by 4000 votes over Margo Bellamy. She did a great run apparently the Anchorage voters have decided that Margo was the best choice. Hopefully Margo will listen to the people and not the special interest that promoted her. If Kai wanted to run for office again I will support her. If she runs for school board she needs to make sure David Nees is not running for the same position like possibly next year that way conservatives are not splitting the vote. There is a good chance that Fred Dyson will not run again she would fit right in. Eagle River did have two women on the assembly from 2004-2007 with Debbie Ossainder and Anna Fairclough now known as Anna MacKinnon.
Hey Alaska legislators most Alaskans when they apply for a Permanent Fund Dividend they expect a full check not a portion of a check. If the prediction is that each applicant is to get a possible $3,000 not $1,100 not a portion of a check. If a government agency, state government or a school district then they can do what many Alaska non profits do create a Pick Click Give profile. Applicant can give starting at $25 at a time. Starting this year applicants can pay $100 per entry to get a ticket in an education raffle. However Beltrami sandwich crowd and Great Alaska Scam the real name of Great Alaska School do not like this idea because it is voluntary
As of election poll closing time on April 2, 2019 both common sense candidates Liz Vaquez and Christine Hill were trailing their main opponent with some help by a spoiler in Liz's case it was Dustin Darden and in Christine's case it was Ron Alleva.

Update as of 5pm on April 3, 2019 in the Midtown Assembly Race. Christine is now trailing Meg by 1300 votes which Ron occupies 957 of those votes
Let's hope the No on Anchorage Prop 9 go in both of these favors and flips these races. We can not go another year with a 9-2 Ethan proof Anchorage Assembly.
As of close of Anchorage Vote by Mail election on April 2, 2019 the Anchorage Capitol Improvement Bond is narrowly failing by about almost 3000 votes. This bond included Downtown Cemetery renovations, Anchorage and Chugiak Senior Centers, Facility safety and code upgrades at West Anchorage High School and Fleet Maintenance, Upgrades at three Anchorage Public Libraries at the Girdwood, Mountain View and Loussac Libraries and the Porcupine Building Replacement
As of poll closing time on Anchorage Municipal Election on April 2, 2019 only two Anchorage Propositions Proposition 3 the Area Capitol Improvement bond and Proposition 9 which is the Berkowitz Responsibility Drinking tax also the addict enabling act which are narrowly failing. Hopefully Proposition 9 will stay in that direction and flip two Assembly races and two school board races.
This suspect is fault of SB 91 which is catch and release criminal prosecution he was booked and release on March 18th, 2019 according to my friends at KTVA he has been a criminal for the last two years was either a fisherman or cannery worker with criminal records in Unalaska, Kodiak and Anchorage. Before he was shot by Anchorage Police Officer for brandishing a look alike bee bee gun. Police Officers have seconds to respond to a situation and if the, suspect refuses to follow instruction and brandished a look like weapon then the officer has to think of safety of community and himself over having to wait a couple of seconds what if that was a real gun. Recently in my adopted hometown county of Kittitas County we just mourned an sheriffs deputy and another is recovering from a suspect. It is better to think of safety or instead of waiting and we are having a funeral of a police officer instead being safe. Please tell your legislature to repeal SB 91 now. Catch and release is for fishing and not fighting crime.
