Letter: Representation matters

Print article We have had 25 Alaska Supreme Court justices; only three have been female. We have had 26 state attorneys general; only two of them have been female.Pointing this out is not meant to denigrate the scores of dedicated male judges across the state who strive hard for fairness every single day. They deserve our support and gratitude. However, it would be preposterous to think that the longstanding and significant underrepresentation of women in these positions has not, in some way or another, whether consciously or subconsciously, affected Alaska law, probably for the much worse. Representation matters. When it comes to the hardest and most closely contested issues, representation matters. When it comes to deciding which cases to investigate and prosecute, representation matters. When it comes to “credibility determinations,” like deciding whether to believe victims or their abusers, representation matters.

Institutional corruption erodes representative government

Institutional corruption erodes representative government Author: Sharman Haley Share on Facebook Print article Should Alaska enforce its current law limiting contributions to SuperPACs on a par with limits on individual contributions to candidates’ campaigns? The Alaska Public Offices Commission stopped enforcing that part of the law in 2012 in the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court decision in Citizens United, reasoning that since the political expenditures of SuperPACs are independent of candidate campaigns, they do not raise the prospect of corruption. Between 2008 and 2018, unregulated independent expenditures increased from 3% to 36% of campaign spending in our state, and two-thirds of this new money was from Outside donors. Including the ballot measures, independent expenditures for the 2020 election exceeded $23 million! This flood of big money into Alaska elections should alarm every Alaskan.
