Representative Jennie Armstrong

Y’ALL! @portugaltheman, @LandsickMedia, @ShortellLaw, and I made this video for #HB99 😭 I am so honored to carry this legislation for the nearly 10% of Alaskans who identify as LGBTQ+. You are loved and we are fighting for you. 🏳️‍🌈 youtube.com/watch?v=rwJx6D…

In her speech, Rep. Armstrong says efforts of discrimination are always shrouded in claims of protecting other groups. That history has never looked back favorably on those discriminatory efforts. "We are sending a message to Alaskasn of what side of history you want to be on."

⏰ A reminder that our administration is still attempting to target vulnerable children in our state - and you have a chance at making your voice heard. Tomorrow @ 8:45am: Join the hearing by calling into 1-253-215-8782 *9 or joining by Zoom us02web.zoom.us/j/99391482721

A Daily News reporter and photographer followed Alaskan Monique Crespo on a yearlong journey out of homelessness. In that time, her life changed in ways both triumphant and devastating. Anchorage changed, too. adn.com/alaska-news/an…

Happy Sunday morning, @adndotcom Editorial has a (scathing) sermon for us ☕️ 💥 “Alaskans expect and deserve their privacy, and should bristle at the prospect of the surveillance state that Attorney General Taylor seeks to enable.” adn.com/opinions/edito…

@kylejo574 @GovDunleavy The minority has requested a poll in two separate letters & we have not received a response from the majority. We don’t know who opposes or supports a special session from the majority, but the entire minority has called for one repeatedly in the press & through formal channels.

@rep_jennie @GovDunleavy Is this a vetoed item? If so who opposes the special session? Why hasn't the poll been released? Why isn't the minority calling out the Speaker? Soooooo many questions.

Just so we’re clear: @GovDunleavy knew about this when he decided to cut the $5 million we allocated to Head Start in our budget. How’s that for pro-family? Losing Head Start programs would have devastating consequences for our most vulnerable children. (1/3)

If only our state put as much energy into helping the children who are starving, abused and neglected as it did into being fixated on women’s bodies and their private medical decisions. Thank you for chatting with me, @AKNewsNow. alaskasnewssource.com/2023/07/21/ala…

We need MORE grant funding so we can provide competitive salaries and get more educators, and thus get more kids enrolled.

@dmsong93 @dougrbbns Totally! Summer is a busy time. If your legislator isn’t listed here, I would send them an email to check in.

We will protect the right to privacy for ALL Alaskans. We will fight for continued access to reproductive health care. We will not allow actions like these to go unnoticed. #akleg

@whisper2world @Phrozen_ Rep. Fields is the one who emailed folks, and I believe they had 36 hours to submit their signatures, so it’s possible that others would be supportive who are not reflected on the letter.

@rep_jennie @Phrozen_ Did other legislators refuse to sign or were they not given a chance?

@davidhth Thanks David! I’m @rep_jennie on IG and Twitter ♥️

@rep_jennie @rep_jennie I reposted this speech on Threads and several people asked how they can follow you.

Must-watch speech. Alaska Rep. Jennie Armstrong’s voice cracks as she describes an encounter with a trans teen who asked, “Why don’t people want us to be happy?” @rep_jennie

Eid Mubarak!

We need it on the record where every legislator stands on the Governor’s vetoes. #akleg

It was great seeing so many friends and Alaskans at Anchorage Pride! As I have in the past, I walked in the Pride Parade with my synagogue, Congregation Beth Sholom. It was also great to see @rep_gray & @rep_jennie, the co-grand marshalls! #AnchoragePride #pride2023🌈 #akleg

More pics! #AnchoragePride
