Congressional candidates stump Kodiak during Crab Festival
May 28th, 2008
Congressional candidate Ethan Berkowitz spent time this weekend at Kodiak’s Crab Festival. Berkowitz made an appearance at the frog jumping contest, and used the annual event as a platform to connect with the Kodiak community and discuss issues like energy and fisheries. Berkowitz, an Alaska resident since 1991, touts his experience in the Alaska Legislature as giving him an edge in the congressional race, where he served for 10 years, 8 of those as the Democratic House leader. In 2006, Berkowitz was the Alaska Democratic nominee for lieutenant governor.
Prior to his stint in the Legislature, Berkowitz worked as a state prosecutor from 1991 to 1993. He then spent some time in the Antarctic before opening his own law practice. He has also been involved in various business ventures, including Alaskan Alternative Energy, a company involved in the development of low-cost renewable energy in rural communities.
