The Integrity of Alaska’s Democracy: A Conversation with Lt. Governor Nancy Dahlstrom
Manage episode 427573652 series 3511158
Is Alaska's democratic integrity at risk? Join us on Stand with Kelly Nikicibaka as we welcome Lieutenant Governor Nancy Dahlstrom to discuss the pivotal and controversial votes of incumbent Mary Peltola. Nancy doesn't hold back her shock and dismay over Peltola's support for counting illegal immigrants in the next census—an action that could reshape congressional representation and marginalize Alaskan voters. Nancy passionately argues that U.S. citizenship should be the bedrock of our democratic processes, not diluted by those who cross the borders illegally.
In another twist of political puzzlement, we unpack Peltola's baffling stance on a key production bill she originally sponsored, only to later ask her colleagues to vote against it and ultimately cast a "present" vote herself. Nancy provides a hard-hitting critique of this flip-flop, urging the importance of unwavering commitment to decisions that benefit Alaskans. Dive into this compelling conversation about the stakes of Alaskan representation and the challenges that lie ahead. Don't miss this eye-opening episode!
