Walter Featherly, running against Republican Rep. Julie Coulombe for House District 11 in Anchorage, says he is not with any political party, but he’s a Democrat, the record shows.
He is one of the fabulous fakes who say they are independent but are deeply entangled with the Alaska Democratic Party.
Featherly’s campaign finance report shows he not only pays the Alaska Democratic Party for its campaign services, he contracts with the leading Anchorage Democrat campaign consultant, Amber Lee Strategies. He gets donations from people like Democrat activist Hal Gazaway ($250), George “Occupy Wall Street” Martinez ($100), and NEA Alaska President Tom Klaameyer ($500).
Unions are bringing in the big bucks for Featherly, along with the House Democratic Campaign Committee ($2,000).
Featherly’s personal political history makes his Democrat loyalties even more clear.
He was not only recalled from the Anchorage School Board for corrupt practices through secret meetings, he fought his recall, saying the petition wasn’t valid. Although Harvard-trained, he lost in court.
Ironically, in 2019, Featherly turned around and signed the petition to recall Gov. Mike Dunleavy.
That particular recall campaign started within a few weeks of Dunleavy being sworn in as governor, and the issue involved Dunleavy’s hope for a better quality in the list of judicial candidates given to him by the Alaska Judicial Council, a group run by the Democrat-led Alaska Bar Association.
Featherly is a member of the Alaska Bar Association.
Featherly in 2014 signed the petition that was trying to restore the progressive oil tax that had resulted up driving many oil companies out of Alaska. The petition was to restore ACES and get rid of the legislation known as Senate Bill 21. ACES had destabilized Alaska’s economy, but Democrats favored ACES because the taxes were so high.
Just last week, Featherly claimed an endorsement from the Associated General Contractors, but was immediately forced to take it down. The group had never endorsed him.
Rep. Julie Coulombe, running for reelection after her first term, is still a political newcomer, having spend just one term in office, but has proven her judgment credentials. The Harvard lawyer Featherly is still carrying baggage from his history of political activism.
What you mean to say is union bosses are supporting him. Most union employees are family people who vote fairly conservative. What the union does and what the individual union employees do are 2 different things.
Union bosses support whoever treats them to Las Vegas boondoggles and other kickbacks.
He even looks fake.
He wears lady’s make-up in case you didn’t notice.
One look at him and you can tell he is a Beta.
Nothing like traitors coming out.
Alaska could certainly use a lot less liberalism in Anchorage. It’s crazy time in Anchorage. Assembly members and the mayor get to hide their democrat mind set with ludicrous assumption that municipal politics are “non partisan”. MRA is correctly seeing through the ‘Independent’ political fog that Mr. Featherly projects with that label. Representative Julie Coulombe has a track record in the House of being a common sense conservative. Exactly what Anchorage needs more of. A vote for Coulombe is a vote for more sanity for Anchorage.
Wow another lying cheating deception politician.
Anchorage go ahead and vote for more democratic control and taxes.
I’m gonna go out on a limb here and call him a liar.
Right out of the gate Julie Coulombe has moved more legislation that made life better for Alaskans than many legislators accomplish during their entire careers. I have personally watched her in action on the hill and am thoroughly impressed. For Gods sake get out and vote for her.
If Hal Gazaway is helping him, there definitely is a problem.
Terrance, Hal actually comes from a good family all of whom were old school democrats. I knew both his Mother and Father, kind and caring folk. The trouble is the party they joined left the station many moons ago and is essentially an extension of an Organized Crime Syndicate which does the bidding of Mega Corporate interests and Foreign Governments like China.
If Hal is reading this I would like very much for him to describe how the Party of Truman, JFK and hell even Jimmy Carter is remotely similar to this current monstrosity that nominates Kommiela Harris and sought to squelch Bobby jr. I mean, the name Democrat shouldn’t preclude them from being Democratic.
Amen oosik. My grandparents were old time democrats too they would split an artery if they could see this current evil s— show. These current dems are not dems but straight up Marxist.
