Email from Knowles/Berkowitz campaign says they've endorsed Diane!

[Ken Burch]

My email to them yesterday...

Tony? Ethan? You there?

C'mon guys, it's time...

Diane is within a few points and closing fast. Don Young will be powerless and irrelevant in a Democratic Congress. Tony can make the difference.

Will you please, for the love of God, do the right thing and PUBLICLY ENDORSE DIANE?

-Ken Burch

The response I got today:

KEN -- TONY AND ETHAN HAVE ENDORSED DIANE FOR CONGRESS.

WE NEED TO PUBLICIZE THIS!

1. That's great news, Ken...

But it's true they've been awfully quiet about it. Thanks for posting it here. I did know that the Alaska Democratic Party had been showing more interest as the campaign moved along, but I hadn't seen Tony or Ethan at any of Diane's fundraisers that I've been to. I suppose they're just too busy with their own campaigns - but it is good to know they're with her in spirit, anyway.

2. Call Kris and have him put it on the Website NOW, and have Diane announce it on KTUU tonight.

That way they won't be able to disavow it.

3. Will do, Ken.

Edit -- I called the campaign office just now. Kris was on the phone so I told the volunteer that I talked to about the endorsement, and copied your message verbatim into an e-mail and asked her to make sure that Kris sees it ASAP as soon as he gets off the phone. She suggested too that it would be good to get into the debate tonight, so hopefully that will get some action.
