The legislature met in joint-session this morning to consider the governor’s nominees to the cabinet, state boards, and commissions. The State of Alaska has over 100 boards and commissions, which engage Alaskans in the civic and commercial processes of government. Alaskans are appointed by the Governor and are reviewed by the legislature for confirmation. I was pleased the governor nominated several individuals from Southeast Alaska including:
Cora Campbell of Petersburg, Commissioner of the Alaska Department of Fish and Game
John Jensen of Petersburg, Board of Fisheries
Dirk White of Sitka, Alaska Board of Pharmacy
Richard Burton of Ketchikan, Alaska Police Standards Council
Aaron Isaacs Jr. of Klawock, Alaska Labor Relations Agency
Having quality Alaskans involved in government is vital for our state. I am glad the Governor appointed these individuals and appreciate their service to Alaska.
