Letter: Support Johnston

My representative, Jennifer Johnston, is running for her third term in the State House of Representatives District 28, which includes South Anchorage, the Hillside and Girdwood communities. Jennifer is a fiscal conservative with a common-sense approach to complex issues.

As the co-chair of the House Finance Committee during this last legislative session, Jennifer led the effort to produce a balanced budget which was passed out of her committee and by the full House in record time this year. Although the final budget that did pass the Senate and House did have a deficit, Jennifer has long advocated for a balanced long-term fiscal plan.

At this time in our state, we need people like Jennifer, who take a long-term view to solving Alaska’s issues. Jennifer’s experience at the state and local levels are valuable assets as the state works through the challenging issues that face us today. Please join me in supporting Jennifer Johnston in August.
