Vote for Agnes Moran By Kathleen Yarr August 18, 2014
Please vote for Agnes Moran for State House, District 36. Agnes is diligent in her research of womlocal issues and has a broader knowledge and understanding of issues specific to District 36 (Ketchikan, Wrangel, Hydaburg and Metlakatla) than any of the other three candidates. As a two-term borough assembly member, she has the most governmental experience and has often taken a lot of flack for her well-researched positions on various issues, but she also listens to her constituents, and will change her mind when presented with new information that warrants it Agnes is not concerned with being popular; she's concerned with doing what's best for us. Not one to sugarcoat things, Agnes is willing to make the tough calls when needed. Agnes is a problem-solver. She understands how to get things done. A business owner and former non-profit foundation director, Agnes realizes the best way to support out sundry governments, schools and non-profits is to broaden our tax base by growing small and large businesses both in Ketchikan and in the outlying areas, thus creating jobs that pay a living wage. Though economically important, Agnes knows we cannot depend solely on tourism, fishing and oil from outside District 36. She will enable us to creatively diversify our economy, hence giving our children a way to earn a living and stay here after college instead of going down the "brain drain," the population-drop Southeast has had since we lost so many timber-related jobs. Vote Agnes Moran this Tuesday and strengthen our communities through economic opportunities. Kathleen Yarr About: "Kathleen Yarr has worked at KIC and UAS for many years, most recently at the SEATEC.
