In brief
We couldn’t help but wonder if it was coincidence or strategery that former Republican foes Congressman Don Young and now-Governor Sean Parnell (who ran against Young in the 2008 congressional primary) had competing events happening the first night of the Alaska Federation of Natives conference last Thursday. Congressman Young threw a fundraiser attended by a little over 30 people at the new SubZero Bistro and MicroLounge, including newly declared candidate for lieutenant governor Representative Jay Ramras (R-Fairbanks).
