Party loyalty certainly matters. But contrary to what the establishment believes, it’s not the only thing that matters.

This summer we kicked off many events all over Alaska celebrating a major milestone in our history -- the 50th anniversary of statehood. As chair of the Alaska Statehood Celebration Commission, I'm grateful for the many volunteers and partner organizations who have dedicated countless hours, both to the commission itself and to the many fun-filled family events commemorating our state's history.
