If Pete was your rep. then you haven't lived in the district for very long. I thought you were going back to when Roses, Mulder and Anderson represented the districts prior to that.
Also, the Democratic Party stopped contesting the district changes after several attempts to redraw them. I agree the district is still gerrymandered but this isn't new in northeast Anchorage. Your boy tried valiantly to replace Davis but I think they've had enough of the Begich democrats. Essentially, we just can't afford them anymore. Nothing is permanent.
