Rep Dan Ortiz

Representing Alaska House District 1: Ketchikan, Saxman, Wrangell, Metlakatla, Hyder, Coffman Cove and Whale Pass.

[Representative Maxine Dibert @RepMaxineDibert]

On Friday I dropped a resolution, HJR15, at the Clerk’s Office. It was read across the floor today. The resolution calls on Congress to reinstate the Enhanced Child Tax Credit that lifted 1000’s of Alaskan children and families out of poverty when it was in effect. #akleg

Great to see Postpartum Medicaide coverage pass the House today!

The House and Senate bills are slightly different, so a few more steps to go, but another big milestone. #Alaska #akleg

Thank you to the House Education Committee for taking up a marathon of public testimony on classroom funding. Thanks also to the 100s who testified! #akleg @jmruffridge @RepDanOrtiz @praxmike @cjthebethelkid @RepHimschoot

Rep. Ortiz has introduced a BSA bill of his own (HB 65) that proposes a $1,250 increase in the per-student formula — more than the $1,000 increase proposed in the Senate. #akleg

[CSPAN @cspan]

Tomorrow is C-SPAN's 43rd anniversary.

Rep. Don Young was the last member in office who was there on C-SPAN's day one (March 19, 1979).

RIP.

ICYMI: A new paper from @ISER_UAA examines the K12 capital spending in Alaska from FY200-FY2020 and explains how both economic and political factors have influenced funding for major maintenance and construction across the state. https://t.co/SYeArth72h #AkLearns #AKLeg #AKEdChat

Delta Junction, Dillingham, Glennallen, Homer, Juneau, Ketchikan, Kodiak, Sitka, Petersburg, Seward, Valdez, and Wrangell, it's your turn to testify on the state budget. Juneau residents should call 907-586-9085 and Alaskans in other communities 1-844-586-9085.

Getting it done! I am so inspired by the ways Alaskans are working together to put this pandemic behind us!

Here is Joe, a Community Health Aid from EAT, moving between vessels on a “man basket” with vaccines (in the blue cooler) as he helps to vaccinate deep-sea fisherman.

[Representative Zack Fields @repzackfields]

Thank you to @POTUS for your work to rebuild the economy. Please consider this request from 28 members of the Alaska State Legislature to support Alaska tourism jobs. #akleg

Good news: the AK CARES program is expanding to small businesses or nonprofits that:
-Have received $5,000 or less of PPP or EIDL
-Have a commercial fishing permit
-Are 501(c)6's
Unfortunately, only 12% of applications have been approved after 6 weeks. We should do better.#AKLEG

[Alaska Senate Majority @AKSenMajority]

Today, we passed an operating budget in record time that demonstrates fiscal restraint but also invests in teachers, law enforcement, and adequately funds Medicaid, Pioneer Homes, and the marine highway. #akleg

The Census is now underway. Lizzie Chimiugak Nenguryarr, an elder of Toksook Bay, was the first person counted for the 2020 census! An accurate count helps ensure Alaska gets it share of federal funding—about $3.2 billion a year. #letsgetcounted
