"Holding Police Accountable? Shaping a
New Anchorage Public Safety Commission"
Felix Rivera, Anna Brawley
Felix Rivera recently left the Anchorage Assembly, after serving three consecutive three-year terms—the maximum allowed by the City Charter. During his time on the Assembly, Felix chaired the Assembly as well as a number of its committees, and was one of the sponsors of the effort to create an Anchorage Public Safety Commission. He
came to Alaska for college and never left. He earned his BA in Liberal Studies at Alaska Pacific University. While studying journalism there he covered local events and also wrote for an international wire service. In addition to his community service as a member of the Assembly, Felix has served on the board of directors for nonprofits such as Alaska Institute for Justice, the Public Transit Advisory Board, and Alaska Youth Court. He is particularly proud of having helped fight for and eventually obtain protections for LGBTQ Anchorage residents in employment, housing, and public accommodations.
Anna Brawley was first elected to the Anchorage Assembly in 2023, and currently serves as the Assembly’s Chair. She is a planner, project manager, and owns a small consulting firm in Anchorage. Anna earned her bachelor’s degree in history from Denison University, a master’s degree in Social Sciences from University of Chicago, and her Master of Regional Planning Degree from Cornell University. She likes learning how complex systems work, such as cities, and how to improve them. Before serving on the Assembly, Anna has served as chair of the Anchorage Budget Advisory Commission, an officer for Spenard and Turnagain Community Councils, on the board of NeighborWorks Alaska, and as a community advocate. She lives in Turnagain with her family and two highly opinionated cats. When not working, she enjoys gardening, creative projects, biking, walking, and Nordic skiing.

"Candidates for Governor of Alaska"
Jonathan Kreiss-Thompkins and Bill Walker
Bill Walker, running as an Independent, served as the 11th governor of Alaska, from 2014 to 2018. He was born in Fairbanks, and raised in Delta Junction and Valdez. Bill grew up building homes with his dad and financed his education by working as a carpenter, laborer, and teamster on the Alaska oil pipeline. At age 27, he became the youngest person to serve as mayor of Valdez, and later serving as city attorney there. He earned his bachelor's in business administration from Lewis and Clark College, and a J.D. from the University of Puget Sound in 1983. He worked on the Trans-Alaska Pipeline and co-founded a law firm with his wife, Donna, specializing in municipal, oil, and gas law. In 2020, he was a fellow at the Harvard Kennedy School’s Institute of Politics. He and Donna, have four children and six grandchildren.
Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins, aka JKT, was born and raised in Sitka. He served five terms in the Alaska House of Representatives, from 2013 to 2023, representing the state's 35th district, which encompasses many Southeast island communities including Hoonah, Sitka, Kake, Klawock, Craig, Angoon, and Petersburg. He is an Eagle Scout, and at the age of 14 he served as statewide chair of the Howard Dean presidential campaign. Kreiss-Tomkins, a Democrat, first won his House seat after leaving Yale University before his senior year to campaign against the incumbent chair of the House Finance Committee, who he defeated by almost three dozen votes. He was part of Alaska’s bipartisan House Majority and one of its most senior members when he retired. In addition to his legislative service, over the past Kreiss-Tomkins co-founded Outer Coast, a post-secondary program on the campus of the former Sheldon Jackson College in Sitka; helped develop a website to track Covid pandemic data in real time, and created the Alaska Fellows, a local service program in Sitka, Juneau, and Anchorage for recent college graduates.
