FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: 6/18/2014
ANCHORAGE — Mark Begich continues to gain broad support from Alaskans with the endorsement of a non-partisan organization representing Alaska’s realtors. In the U.S. Senate Begich fights to grow Alaska’s economy and create jobs by supporting homeownership for Alaska’s families, active military members and veterans.
“In the Senate I have successfully fought to achieve smart and balanced policies that make homeownership a reality for Alaska families, veterans and first time buyers. I’m grateful to have the support of Alaska realtors,” said Begich.
“As a realtor and community member in Fairbanks, I’ve seen firsthand how Mark Begich’s work for our economy has been such a notable benefit for our housing market. Fundamentally, what realtors want is a strong healthy economy and housing market and Senator Begich has long fought for that. In Fairbanks, Begich fought to keep our F-16s at Eielson which saved thousands of jobs and supports the Fairbanks economy and families,” said April Monroe Frick, a realtor in Fairbanks.
“Senator Begich has been a vocal supporter of vital tax incentives that help make homeownership affordable for middle class families. His support for programs that make homeownership a reality for first-time buyers as well as policies that support military, veterans, and rural housing is critical to Alaska and our economy overall. We look forward to continuing to work together with Senator Begich to promote homeownership in Alaska,” said Don McKenzie, Anchorage resident and REALTOR® and Federal Political Coordinator for the National Association of Realtors.
Mark Begich, a small businessman, has used his clout in the U.S. Senate to deliver results for Alaskans.
