OPINION: What it means to put America first

Oct 22, 2024 | adn.com | Kevin McGee

We live in a surreal world where we are asking questions like: Will a presidential candidate be loyal to the U.S. Constitution? Will they sell us out, or be manipulated by our enemies? As someone who deployed overseas to protect this country, I ask that you vote for a president who will always be loyal to America. We don’t really need to listen to the rhetoric of this campaign to know that both candidates have a record that says far more about them than sound bites or theatrics. As Gen.
OPINION: Trump’s court declares war on the rule of law

Jul 5, 2024 | adn.com | Kevin McGee

Sen. Dan Sullivan often frames federal issues around protecting “the rule of law.” At no time since Reconstruction has the rule of law been under such attack as right now. A convicted felon who has also been found civilly liable for rape is the Republican nominee for president. That in itself would be appalling, but if the legislative and judicial branches of government were capable of performing their constitutional duties, then the rule of law would be safe.
OPINION: Legislature should revisit voting rights bill

Jun 1, 2024 | adn.com | Kevin McGee

Two of the most important bills in the legislature this year — education funding and voting rights — passed the bipartisan state Senate overwhelmingly but failed thanks to a single vote by House members. Opposition to voting rights legislation was particularly baffling — or outrageous — for Reps. Stanley Wright and Thomas Baker, who represent East Anchorage and Kotzebue/Northwest Alaska, respectively.
Letter: Why I'm voting for LaFrance

Apr 14, 2024 | adn.com | Kevin McGee

With our vote-by-mail ballots for the Anchorage municipal runoff soon on the way, I wanted to share why Suzanne LaFrance is by far the strongest candidate to be our next mayor. It should go without saying that the Bronson administration has been an unmitigated catastrophe for our city. Fortunately, LaFrance’s experience, intelligence, values and temperament make her the perfect person to put Anchorage back on the right track.

OPINION: Dunleavy stands in the way of Alaska’s education progress

Mar 17, 2024 | adn.com | Kevin McGee

Gov. Mike Dunleavy’s veto of education funding makes it abundantly clear: The greatest threat to Alaska’s future is the governor. It is abundantly clear the Legislature should override Dunleavy’s veto of education funding, but the governor’s veto also demonstrates he is incapable of governing and should resign immediately. Let’s remember what is in SB 140, and how this bipartisan education package came to receive such overwhelming legislative support.
OPINION: Alaska’s education commissioner should support public education

Dec 22, 2023 | adn.com | Kevin McGee

Gov. Mike Dunleavy’s education commissioner, former Anchorage School District superintendent Deena Bishop, has destroyed her credibility with recent statements opposing increased education funding and proposing new fronts in entirely unnecessary culture wars. Her positions are at odds with the Alaska Constitution, and the governor should replace her with someone who supports who will honor our state’s laws. Public education is the foundation of a democracy.
OPINION: An endorsement that says more about Dunleavy than Trump

Sep 11, 2023 | adn.com | Kevin McGee

To nobody’s surprise, Gov. Mike Dunleavy recently endorsed Donald Trump for President in the 2024 election. If Trump’s bragging about sexual assault didn’t stop Dunleavy from supporting Trump the first time, what difference would utter incompetence, organization of an unprecedented insurrection to overthrow democracy, and multiple felony indictments make?
OPINION: Alaska’s government is letting its public schools crumble

Jul 12, 2023 | adn.com | Kevin McGee

Credit where it is due: This year, the Legislature finally made a significant investment in classroom operations, reversing some (though not all) of many years of accumulated cuts. Unfortunately, Gov. Mike Dunleavy vetoed half of that education funding, and House Speaker Cathy Tilton appears to be dead-set on blocking a veto override vote, despite broad bipartisan support for education investment.
OPINION: Alaska should establish Juneteenth as a state holiday

Mar 6, 2023 | adn.com | Kevin McGee

Juneteenth is a federal and municipal holiday commemorating June 19, 1865, when the last group of slaves heard that the Union had prevailed and ended slavery. The state of Alaska should adopt Juneteenth as a state holiday, since it is a powerful symbol of our country becoming the more perfect union envisioned in our founding documents. As much as slavery and racism shaped early American history, so too the struggle for freedom and abolition defined our country’s ideals and potential.
