Today the age of consent in Alaska is 18. 16 & 17-year-olds are off limits from sexual predators. Raising the age of consent has been a long difficult journey. Big thanks to former Rep. Geran Tarr who began this fight a decade ago. Here’s a memory of when I 1st attempted it. #akleg
My HB 36 has gone into law!This bill ends an incredibly dark period in Alaska history where foster children ended up in psychiatric facilities for sometimes months at a time when they didn’t need to be there. Now, they get a hearing within 7 calendar days. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

On Monday my HB 110 which joined AK to multiple compacts became law (including the PA compact!). Last week we overrode the Gov’s veto of HB 195; this changed the PA title to “Physician Associate.” Sen. Tobin’s SB 89 modernized the PA statutes & is now law. #akleg www.aapa.org/news-central...

My bill allowing for municipalities to implement 5 new optional property tax exemptions (HB 13) became law on Monday. This bill provides tools for expanding the supply of available homes, reducing costs, and improving quality. I was elected to address housing & homelessness concerns. I am doing it.

After 4 years of meaningful achievements, most importantly raising the age of consent to keep young people safe & passing a series of optional property tax exemptions to make homes more affordable, I am running for re-election to AK House. Donate today at AndrewGrayAK.com
Yesterday, the House passed SB 89: Physician Assistant Scope of Practice. This bill modernizes the way PAs can practice medicine in Alaska. As a PA myself, I’m so grateful to Sen. Tobin for sponsoring the bill & the legislature for passing it almost unanimously. #akleg

Monday in Juneau: fundraiser for Alaska State House & Senate bipartisan coalitions. 5-7 pm. Please come! Last chance to donate before session starts on Tuesday.
Hi again! Just wanted to say thank you for all the support today. It will take a village (or more than 227 villages), but we’re going to win this race for Alaska’s future. Join us at marypeltola.com!
My name is Mary Peltola, and I'm running for U.S. Senate to fight for fish, family, and freedom – and that begins with fixing the rigged system in DC that’s shutting down Alaska. We need systemic change if we're going to lower costs, save our fisheries, and fill our homes with abundance again.
Today is an important day for our state — Mary Peltola has officially announced that she is running for Senate!! We are entering a new chapter in Alaska — and it starts today. Check it out now: marypeltola.com
