It was a record-setting event. On February 5th — Super Tuesday — Ethan joined record numbers of Democrats from across the entire state to participate in the Alaska Democratic Party Presidential Caucuses.

Next week, “Super Tuesday” comes to visit, and it’s our turn to participate in the presidential primaries. This is our chance to speak out for the candidate we support and the change we want, and I hope Alaska sets record levels of participation. I look forward to enthusiastic, positive and respectful discussion. That’s a hallmark of a healthy democracy. It helps that there is a strong field of contenders this year.

Congressional candidate Ethan Berkowitz today urged Alaskans to participate in next week’s “Super Tuesday” presidential caucuses and announced his support for Senator Barack Obama: “I believe Barack Obama is best able to lead the country in a new direction.”
