Tomorrow @11am the #akleg meets in joint session to consider confirmation votes. Among them is Attorney General designee Cox. Cox has: ❌never actually practiced law in Alaska (having been admitted to the Bar for less than a year). ❌demoralized the Dept of Law by importing an inexperienced friend from Outside to be 2nd in command & demoting all other senior attorneys. ❌bizarrely argued that people born in the US aren’t necessarily citizens -attacked the rights of LGBTQ, including gay marriage. ❌attacked the culture of Alaska by trying (and failing) to destroy subsistence rights for rural Alaskans. ❌violated the privacy rights of EVERY Alaska voter by transmitting their confidential information to the feds. (His excuse? He’s “still learning” that Alaskans have a right to privacy…). ❌wasted state of Alaska resources by filing one brief after another on lower 48 culture war issues. Cox clearly doesn’t represent Alaska values, and any legislator who supports him nonetheless needs to be asked why. We can do better— we can find an AG who has actually practiced law in our state and, regardless of partisanship, values our rights and ways of life. Contact your legislator and let them know the many reasons they need to vote *against* the confirmation of Cox. 👇 @AGofAlaska

Great work by Speaker Edgmon & so many others. Getting this accomplished at all is amazing—doing it with a slim, 1-seat majority is unbelievable. Passing HB78 is a generational investment in our troopers, our teachers, and our state. #akleg @houmaj

Just a reminder that Senator @mattclaman has been holding HB101—which would raise the age of consent to 18 years—in his committee for *325* days. It passed the house *unanimously* nearly a year ago! Call him today and demand he release it for a floor vote. #akleg
