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.

Thanks to all of our supporters in Kodiak - and those of you who were just curious about our campaign - who took time off to meet Ethan during his recent trip to Kodiak! We know it was hard to break away from the festivities at the Crab Festival, but we’re glad you could join us for some coffee and conversation with Ethan.

Ethan went to Kodiak, and residents came down to say hi. A fun time was had by all at the Meet & Greet Reception on Wednesday, March 19, 2008, from 6:00-8:00pm at the 2nd Floor Restaurant (116 W. Rezanof, in Kodiak) Thanks to everyone who showed up!

While in Kodiak for the ComFish Congressional debate, Ethan attended a reception at the Second Floor Restaurant. Despite the unseasonally cold weather, Ethan had a great time on the docks talking with local fishermen. He appreciated the opportunity to hear more about the effects of recent fisheries legislation on the Kodiak community.
