Sara Rasmussen

The primary is over! District 22’s Republican Candidate for the House is Sara Rasmussen. She has the daunting task of unseating “Independent” candidate Jason Grenn, a personable guy who, in the last election managed to convince conservative leaning District 22 voters that he, while an “Independent candidate”, still shared the fiscally sound views of this electorate and that he would be looking after their best interests regardless of party interests. 
It was a great line. And Jason may even believe it. But the results of his first term in office should prove to District 22 voters that they can’t afford to re-elect him.
There are two business oriented groups here in Alaska that publish “legislative report cards”.
The Alaska Chamber of Commerce which partners with the Resource Development Council and Alaska Wins and the independent Alaska Public Policy Forum each do an evaluation and give the individual legislators grades from A to F. Both rating groups tend to focus more on good economics than on social issues or dogma.
Jason Grenn gets a comfortable C from both and some of his fans might say that that just proves he is truly independent. All of the anti-business, anti-oil, anti-development and pro-tax folks got F’s, right. So Jason is truly doing what he promised and is right in the middle- doing what is best for us, the citizens of District 22. Right?
Wrong…in fact it is exactly the opposite of right, because when Jason Grenn got to Juneau he did exactly what his “main supporter” wanted: He organized in the House with the Democrats and the so-call Musk Ox Republicans, delivering control of the House to all of those anti-everything-except tax folks who got all of the F’s on their report cards.
Vinnie Beltrami, the head of the AFL-CIO in Alaska, the AFL PAC and other union PACs put a lot of money into getting Jason elected and they will be putting a lot more into keeping him there this time around.
Sara is going to need a lot of help to overcome this juggernaut.
Sara understands that for an economy to prosper someone needs to be creating wealth, whether through resource development or technological innovation. She also understands that government doesn’t create wealth, government uses wealth and usually not very wisely. Here in Alaska we have one major wealth creator: the oil industry. 
The old cartoon characterization of Alaska’s economy was that of a three legged stool. Oil, Government and Everything else. But it was never that accurate: What we really have is a two legged stool because Government produces nothing, it simply redistributes what others have created. When government is performing as it should, roads get built, criminals go to jail and kids actually learn to read and write with a little math thrown in.
Unfortunately those things that government should do aren’t getting done now and Jason whether he knows it or not is part of the problem.
Jason is an enabler of the anti-oil, anti-business, pro-income tax crowd. He is the enabler of a Governor obsessed with hating oil and building uneconomic gas pipelines. He is the enabler of the policies which have contributed to our lowered credit rating and the reluctance of anyone to invest in Alaska.
He proudly, and justifiably touts his work with non-profits and public service. But these are not wealth creating enterprises, they, like government itself, are users of wealth. 
Jason doesn’t seem to understand the difference and brags about his experience working with non-profits.
We could write another hundred pages on what is wrong in Juneau and why Jason is the wrong guy to send to Juneau but you are Republicans and independents and you already know most of this.
So do what you know needs to be done: Get Sara signs out, get your friends out to stump for her and donate a few bucks to help her get her message out. 
We know the economy is tough right now, but it will get a lot tougher if we don’t start sending the right folks to Juneau to represent us.
