Every year, legislators are given the opportunity to recognize those in their community who have gone above and beyond to give back. Being able to acknowledge the great work of East Anchorage residents and organizations is one of the most rewarding part of my job.

If you know someone who deserves recognition by the Alaska State Legislature send me an email describing what makes them special. In the past, I’ve sponsored citations for:

The Nukaka Valley Little League Junior Softball Team in honor of their title as Alaska State and Regional Champions

Lorena Scalph, honored for 40 years of teaching

Scott McKim, teacher at Begich Middle School, honored for leading the efforts in constructing a wind turbine

The 673rd Air Base Wing recoginzed for earning the John P. Flynn Inspector General’s Award
