Arguably the biggest hindrance to advancing Biblically aligned policy in Alaska has been the relentless willingness of a few Republican State Senators and House members to give power to the Democrats in exchange for leadership positions.
Two of those legislators, Senator Gary Stevens and Representative Louise Stutes, both from Kodiak, have been leading that charge for a long time. It’s been a tiring mantra. Elect Republican majorities. Democrats are put in authority.
We now have a legitimate moment to change this trajectory.
Gary Stevens is retiring and Louise Stutes is leaving the House to run for his Senate seat. Because she’s been giving power to the Democrats just like he has, Stevens has endorsed her.
But Stutes has a challenger. And he is gaining traction.
Heath Smith, a former Homer City Council member, life long Alaskan and astute observer of what’s wrong with our “bi-partisan” ineffective legislative caucuses, is on the show today.
Senate District C includes Seward, Homer, Cordova, Ninilchik, Anchor Point and Kodiak among other communities but the implications of this critical Senate race have long term statewide implications.

Our keynote speaker is Kelvin Cochran, former Fire Chief of Atlanta who was fired for simply having a Biblical view of marriage. Ultimately, justice prevailed but his story of never giving up and facing the fire is one we can all be inspired by.
