SITKA - He may be only 14 years old, but Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins is a player in the field of national politics.

For his work on the Howard Dean presidential campaign, the Sitka High School freshman has been interviewed by the Washington Post and the Internet magazine salon.com.

Kreiss-Tomkins also is mentioned by Dean campaign manager Joe Trippi in the current issue of the New Republic magazine, and he was interviewed last Sunday by reporter Steve Inskeep on the National Public Radio program "All Things Considered."

"He's the top 'DeanLinker' on our Web site," said Dean campaign organizer Murshed Zaheed.

The official Dean Web site shows a photograph of Kreiss-Tomkins in a Blatchley Middle School Huskies T-shirt. The young Dean enthusiast is credited with having introduced 469 new supporters to the 'DeanLink' Web site as of Saturday, according to the Web site. Overall, the site now has more than 22,000 signed up.
