The Democratic State Convention wrapped up yesterday in Palmer. In the upcoming Presidential election, Alaska delegates will be split: Hillary Clinton will get 3, while Obama will take 11 delegates. Meanwhile Alaskan Democrats running for state and national offices spoke to supporters.

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.
