Letter to the Editor:
 
I will be voting for Representative Peggy Wilson for House District 33 on Election Day, Tuesday, November 6th.  For those of you that seem to be worried about a candidate being “LOCAL”, I would say that “SENIORITY” is what you should be concerned about! Losing one House seat due to re-districting places our community and Southeast Alaska in a potentially precarious position in the Legislature. In a 40-member House of Representatives, the SENIORITY Representative Wilson brings to the table is invaluable.  

We need SENIORITY and proven leadership in Juneau. We need representation that has a proven track record of working together, and is well respected by other senior representatives.  Committee assignments are chosen by SENIORITY not by LOCAL choice. Representative Wilson is currently Chairperson of the Transportation Committee and Vice Chair of Resources – both are very important to our community.

I urge you to vote for SENIORITY to continue growing Ketchikan. I urge you to vote for Representative Peggy Wilson.

Thank you.
