Alphabet Kids

Hello Ketchikan!!

PSA!!!

Please contact Representative Jeremy Bynum and Senator Bert Stedman today and ask them to return to Juneau, help secure a veto override, and support restoring the $6.4M for Early Educator Recruitment and Retention.

Please also ask other parents and business owners to call or write to Rep. Bynum's & Sen. Stedman's office. Lawmakers need to hear that childcare is not just a provider issue. It affects families’ ability to work and businesses’ ability to hire and retain employees.

This funding was approved by the Legislature to strengthen Alaska’s early education workforce. The veto comes at a time when programs are already facing staffing shortages, rising costs, and pressure to keep classrooms open.

Their leadership matters. Please urge them to return to Juneau, work with other lawmakers to secure an override, and vote to restore this critical funding for the childcare workforce.

On Monday, please do one or both:

1. ‎ Email Rep. Jeremy Bynum & Sen. Bert Stedman and their staff:
[email protected]
[email protected]

2. Call their offices:
Rep. Jeremy Bynum
Juneau office: 907-465-3824
Ketchikan office: 907-228-2286
Sen. Bert Stedman
Juneau office: 907-465-3873
Ketchikan office: 907-225-8088

Your advocacy in this Important matter is MUCH APPRECIATED!!! 😊

Thank YOU! ❤️
