Anyone read the ridiculous, super negative letter from former Union Boss Vince Beltrami? These union bosses are so used to pulling strings, and they have no pull with me. So, they attack. With radio, mailings, attacks … all paid for with mostly $ from Outside Alaska. For my opponent I feel a bit sorry for him. The union bosses’ hooks are lodged deeply. He will be paying the piper for their dirty dollars. He will be dancing to their tune, no doubt.

How to respond to so much hate?

With love and positivity.
