Letter: With a ballot this full, you have to search for real representation

Does anyone else view the ballot of candidates as ridiculous? All those Republican candidates ... It seems to me that they care only about themselves and not the people of this state. Did they pay for the extra ink? Hehehe! Couldn't they come together, pound out causes and select one or two? Look what Tom Begich did. He showed well in the polls, just behind JKT. For various reasons, he bailed out and let the stronger candidate lead. So when Republicans are crying into their beer, take note of how a candidate who values Alaska behaves. Politically, I lean conservative. You can vote as you wish, but when people want to vote for 'their' party and there are about 15 candidates, you give us no choice but to look elsewhere for real representation. Goodbye, Dan Sullivan. Vote them out after two terms. — Cecilia Preziose, Anchorage • • • Have something on your mind? Send to letters@adn.com or click here to submit via any web browser. Please include your contact info.
