D35 Voted to Support the Re-election of President Barack Obama
A modest turnout of about 22 Democrats turned out at the KPC campus in Homer to decide who to support for Democratic candidate this year. The answer was a unanimous vote for President Obama, and so all 14 delegates from District 35 will go to the Alaska State Convention planning to support the President. The Delegates can be found here.

30 Is The New 35
The Alaska Redistricting Board has drawn new District boundaries - We are now in House District 30
Effective June 13th, the 5-member Alaska Redistricting Board has shuffled the District boundaries to account for the 2010 Census results. Several lawsuits are working their way through the court system, and the plan must still be approved by the Department of Justice to assure that it complies with the 1965 Voting Rights Act. Barring changes, that change the outcome, the area between Homer and Kasilof has be designated House District 30 and Seward, Seldovia, Nanwalek, and Port Graham have been moved to a new District 35 along with Kodiak and Southeast. The map below shows the new boundaries for District 30.

Don Young Scorecard;
4/7/11 - Medicare - Young votes to make it more expensive for seniors, but it does reduce taxes for the rich. check out Paul Krugman's take on it.
