2008 is a good year to be a Democrat in Alaska. Ethan Berkowitz is the
Democratic candidate for Alaska's sole congressional seat.
Incumbent Congressman Don Young has been locked in a "too close to
call" primary election with Lt. Gov Sean Parnell since August 26th,
with the final results not expected before the end of September. In a
year where Democrats finally have a chance to turn Alaska blue, we can
help take advantage of this incredible opportunity. Don Young, known
to most as the Bridge to Nowhere champion, has paid over $1 million in
legal fees since 2007, and has been trailing Ethan in every poll
released this year.
Ethan Berkowitz was born and raised in San Francisco by his parents
Myra & Nathaniel Berkowitz. Ethan graduated from Harvard in 1983, and
earned a law degree from the University of California Hastings College
of Law in 1990. From 1991 to 1993, Ethan worked as a state prosecutor
in Anchorage and rural Alaska. After spending the 1993-94 season in
the Antarctic, he opened his own law practice. Beginning in 1996, he
served in the Alaska State Legislature for ten years. After Ethan's
first term in office, he was chosen by his peers to lead the House
Democrats, a position he held for eight years. He is best known for a
speech he made in 2006 calling out bribery and corruption in the state
legislature. Since then the FBI has gotten involved, and nearly a
dozen indictments have been handed down.
In 2006, Ethan began the year by running for Governor, and debated
then Gubernatorial-candidate Sarah Palin on several occasions. Once
Former Governor Tony Knowles entered the race, Ethan stepped down and
ran as Knowles' Lieutenant Governor. On the campaign trail Ethan
speaks passionately about the energy potential of Alaska, a state
which suffers more from Climate Change than any other. The renewable
energy potentials of Alaska extend from wind energy, to geo-thermal,
to 90% of the country's tidal potential. Ethan has been a leader on
these issues in Alaska, and can bring the same focus and fight to
Washington.
