"Right to Try" Becomes Law!
|
|
I'm pleased to announce that this morning,
House Bill 43
- or the "Right to Try"- became law in Alaska. It was an honor to sponsor this important legislation, see it through the process, and sit with Governor Walker as he signed it into law.
HB43 gives Alaskans fighting terminal illness faster access to safe, but experimental medications in an effort to save their own lives. It reclaims for all patients the freedom to choose whether to pursue a course of treatment, without having to wait through a complicated, time-consuming, and expensive federal process. It restores hope and can offer a new chance at life.
Thank you to everyone who supported HB43 through the legislative process, and for those brave Alaskans who have shared your stories of both loss and hope along the way.

Ever drive down Jade Street? If you do, you know sometimes it's pretty hard to see pedestrians coming out of Jade Park. While there are several options I'm exploring with neighbors and the Municipality to address this issue long-term, in the meantime, there's something we can do right now:
Next Saturday, please join me at Jade Park for a Jade Street Park Fix-It! Working alongside Anchorage Parks & Rec and the Anchorage Park Foundation, we'll be cutting back vegetation and clearing brush so cars have better visibility of park-goers. Tools and lunch provided!
What:
Jade Street Park Fix-It
When:
Saturday, July 21st, 9am - 12pm
We could use a hand, so come on by, bring a neighbor, and let's make Jade Park a safer place for everyone to enjoy. Click
