Nothing like Fur Rendezvous in Anchorage. Proud to watch my brother-in-law race this weekend! The lead dog sets the pace, reads the trail, and earns the team’s trust. Leadership works the same way — you lead from the front, stay steady when it’s tough, and pull your weight.

No big out-of-state checks. Just working families, fishermen, small business owners, and everyday Alaskans who stepped up because they believe it’s time for steady, no-nonsense leadership.

Shannon Mason left her role at Fish & Game last month to take the job as campaign manager for Republican gubernatorial candidate Click Bishop. Mason previously worked for @GovDunleavy and on his 2022 re-election campaign. Congrats on the new role, Shan Dog! #akleg

On April 1, 1974, Porky Bickar of Sitka faked the eruption of Mount Edgecumbe with burning tires, tricking residents & Coast Guard, a required annual post. More on the greatest Alaska Fools joke in Alaska history in my 2020 article: adn.com/alaska-life/2020/04/… #alaskahistory #alaska

IT’S SO FUN. And the sustain!! Thanks for all the tips @Tim_Easton, @neverendingluau, @JohnBitney, and @AnnieBAlaska! I got a used 90s made in Korea Danelectro semi-hollow on Reverb and lucky me my husband happened to have a little 5 watt practice tube amp. My little brain is 🤯! – at Juneau, AK
