Momentum Is Building Across Alaska
There’s a renewed sense of energy and engagement happening in communities across the state. More Alaskans are stepping up to volunteer, attend local events, and get involved in shaping the future of their neighborhoods. That kind of grassroots participation is what keeps our democracy strong.
The Alaska Democratic Party has seen growing interest from people who want to make a difference — whether that means supporting local candidates, contributing to our efforts, or simply having conversations with friends and neighbors about the issues that matter most.
Moments like this are a reminder that progress doesn’t happen all at once. It’s built step by step, person by person, community by community. And when people come together with a shared commitment to fairness, opportunity, and respect for one another, real change becomes possible.
There’s a lot to be hopeful about — and even more to build together in the months ahead.
Democrats Show Up Strong at SCC
Alaska Democrats showed up in force at this year’s SCC, connecting with voters, organizing across regions, and making it clear that our momentum is real.
From policy conversations to grassroots strategy sessions, Democrats from across the state came together to talk about what’s next — how we protect our rights, strengthen public education, defend essential services, and build an economy that works for everyday Alaskans.
What stood out most wasn’t just the turnout. It was the energy. Volunteers, candidates, organizers, and community leaders are ready to put in the work to win up and down the ballot.
And we’re just getting started. If SCC was any indication, our upcoming State Convention will be a powerful moment for Democrats statewide.
Convention is where we set priorities, connect with fellow Democrats from every corner of Alaska, and build the strategy to win in November. Whether you’re a longtime volunteer or just getting involved, this is your chance to be part of shaping our path forward.
We hope you’ll join us.
Alaska Schools Need Leaders Who Prioritize Education
Alaska families are feeling the impact of chronic underfunding in our schools. Mat-Su School District recently announced plans to close three schools—Larson and Meadow Lakes Elementary near Wasilla, and Glacier View School—due to a projected $23 million budget shortfall for next year.
These closures aren’t just numbers on a spreadsheet—they affect students, teachers, and entire communities. Class sizes will grow, programs will be cut, and families will face harder choices just to get a basic education.
This is why Alaska needs leaders who will fight for our schools. We need representatives who prioritize funding for public education, protect teachers and staff, and ensure every child has access to a strong, local school. Without them, decisions like these—driven by budget shortfalls and political neglect—will continue to disrupt Alaska families.
Strong schools aren’t optional—they’re essential. Alaska’s children deserve leaders willing to stand up for them.
Meet our Communications & Deputy Executive Director, Daniella Tebib!
Daniella Tebib (she/her) was raised in rural Kentucky, where she grew up riding horses and playing in the creek! She had her political awakening when her elementary school held a mock election in 2008 for Barack Obama and John McCain, and she quickly found herself interested in the world of politics and advocacy of Democratic policies. From early childhood, she has felt a passion and calling to move our country and world in a better direction.
She is now the Communications and Deputy Executive Director for the Alaska Democratic Party. She has worked in Alaska since 2022, playing a key role in Mary Peltola’s election to U.S. Congress, and has been involved in the ADP since then. Before joining the ADP, she co-founded a digital firm rooted in growing the digital footprint of Democrats up and down the ballot and electing them into office nationwide.
Before co-founding the digital firm, Daniella worked at her University newspaper for four years, starting as Staff Writer and growing into the role of Production Manager, while also interning for several Democratic campaigns locally and statewide.
Outside of work, she loves to travel, try out new restaurants, and can often be found at the movie theatre watching the latest film released! If you run into her in Anchorage, you’ll likely see her out and about with her trusty pup, Kahina! She is honored to now live on Dena’ina land.
We’re working to strengthen our schools, support our families, and build a more vibrant and sustainable Alaska for everyone.
