It was an honor to meet with the Chugiak High Boys Basketball Team to commend them on all of their hard work this season and to congratulate them for their first State Championship game appearance in 15 years at the Alaska State 4A Basketball Tournament last weekend.
Way to go Mustangs! What a great group of student athletes!
Local Issues
January 22nd 2021
It was recently reported that the Alaska Department of Administration (DOA) is proposing to close six Division of Motor Vehicles offices, including the Eagle River office. The DOA says that these six offices generate little revenue, and closing the six offices would save $600,000. I have discussed the proposed closures with the other Representatives that this proposal may impact, and am considering which course of action, if any, is best to take. If you have recent experiences with the Eagle River DMV, or if you have an opinion on this potential closure, I would love to hear from you at rep.ken.mccarty@akleg.gov .

Miss Alaska High School is from District 13
During my last visit home I presented a letter of recognition to one of my constituents, Bethany Greenlund, who holds the Miss Alaska High School 2021 title. The letter also included signatures from several other legislators who have accepted her AK Kind Challenge.
I visited with Ms. Greenlund and learned that, like myself, she has an enthusiasm for aviation and will soon be training to get her pilot’s license. She also told me about her free ride skiing team. I informed Bethany of my current trade schools bill for high school students, HB 108, and introduced her to our “Bill Bear” who will be signed by co-sponsors of the bill.
Bethany recently visited Juneau and was able to meet other Alaska legislators outside the capitol building. I am proud to represent a district that has such inspiring youth as Ms. Greenlund. Click here to learn more about Bethany and her kindness challenge.
