We need Les Gara as our governor. Les Gara’s actions during his years in the Legislature and a stint as assistant attorney general proves that this calm, unassuming, honest and quietly competent legislator is a true Alaska public servant.
Les Gara’s voting record in the Legislature proves that he will be an education governor. Restoring our education system is the key to providing a vibrant community with opportunities for our youngest citizens to stay and thrive in Alaska. Gara supports lower class sizes, bringing back state reimbursement for school construction, building energy efficient school buildings, pre-kindergarten to help working parents of young children — as in most other states — and reinstating pensions to attract and keep good teachers. Please consider voting for this longtime legislator as our new governor to help restore our education system.
