Isn't our legislature supposed to be a governing body representative of the state's people? By rough numbers there are 500k voting age residents in Alaska that don't already work for the government and DoL estimates 12-13k of them work in Oil and Gas (2-3%). As such, I would think disqualifying anyone employed by the oil industry from the 60 seat legislature when their workers represent a 1-2 seat portion of the non-government employed residents would actually be "too much to ask". 

Are you actually advocating for the government to be more representative of you and your interests at the expense of those other residents?
