During Season 5, we are considering the Alaska State Motto – “North to the Future” as a model for a positive imagining of Anchorage’s future. On this episode, we hear from Erin Baldwin Day, who represents District 4 (Midtown) on the Anchorage Assembly, and Matt Schultz, who is running for Alaska’s seat in the U.S. House of Representatives, as they dream of Anchorage's future in politics.

We want to hear your positive vision of the future!

Record a voice memo on your phone of your positive vision for Anchorage’s future and send the audio file to anchorageutc@gmail.com. Please put in the subject line of your email “North to the Future – My Vision.”
