After Dunleavy’s attempt to attack public education funding failed, Alaska Democratic Party Chair Eric Croft released the following statement: 

“Dunleavy tried to play every dirty trick to prevent the funding for public education, but he failed. Thank you to our Democratic-led majorities who got the job done for Alaska’s children. With this veto override, our schools will receive the largest Base Student Allocation increase in Alaska history, providing our students, teachers, staff, and public schools with the resources they need to succeed. And for Governor Dunleavy: the future of Alaska is not up for grabs. We will always fight for public education.”
