Adam Diamant

“I’m writing today to ask if you to join me and support my friend Margaret Stock who is running as an Independent for Senate in Alaska against conservative Republican, anti-environmentalist Lisa Murkowski.

“In addition to studying public policy at the Kennedy School, Margaret is highly-regarded immigration attorney, an officer in the US military police, a teacher at West Point, and a past recipient of a MacArthur Genius Grant for her work fighting discrimination against immigrants who serve in the US military and helping them to obtain citizenship for their efforts protecting our Nation.”

“I don’t often write emails soliciting support for political candidates, but I’m moved to do so today because Margaret is a wonderful, inspiring woman with incredible integrity. I’ve known Margaret since we both attended graduate school together at the Kennedy School of Government (KSG). Margaret is a no-nonsense, get it done kind of woman.

Diane Benson has endorsed Margaret Stock for U.S. Senate. Diane is a two-time Democratic candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives, and a candidate for lieutenant Governor. She is a writer, dramatist, and member of the Tlingit people.

“I am endorsing Margaret Stock for U.S. Senate for three specific reasons.

“Margaret examines problems and issues in a careful and thoughtful way. This is also displayed in her understanding of Native issues, when so many candidates for our state barely know its history, let alone its indigenous populations. Her intelligence combined with her compassion and strong values makes her an ideal representative for all Alaskans.

“…Margaret is dedicated to the rights of all people, as hailed in our nation’s primary document where it speaks to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness – for all.”

“Two, Margaret is dedicated to the rights of all people, as hailed in our nation’s primary document where it speaks to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness – for all. Her pro bono work, providing services without pay, as an attorney speaks to her commitment to the rights of all. It’s not the work others might do, but she does, knowing that justice is not simply for the rich, but for all people and must be equally applied. I ran dogs for thirty years, and the team is only as fast as its slowest dog. Likewise, justice is only as good as what we provide to the least fortunate.

“Three, Margaret’s background of service in the Armed Forces demonstrates her self-discipline, and her commitment to stand up for her country and its people. As a mother of a severely wounded warrior, I truly want to know we have members of the U.S. Senate who know what that sacrifice means for the wounded veteran and the veteran’s family. I want someone who will take on issues like climate change, work with all sides for solutions, and who has the compassion and strength to address social problems like suicide, and violence against Native women, and sustainable energy. I want someone who is rational and not so driven by politics. I want Margaret for U.S. Senate. It’s time.”

Vic Fischer, a founder of Alaska statehood and delegate to the 1955 Constitutional Convention, has endorsed Margaret Stock for U.S. Senate.

“Since Alaska became a state, we’ve had two super-senators who effectively represented all Alaskans – Bob Bartlett (D), and Ted Stevens, a Republican. In November, we have the opportunity to elect a new US Senator, an Independent, who will also truly serve all Alaskans.

“Margaret Stock, an Alaskan, has a proven record and ability to work across party lines with Congress. Margaret Stock is a recognized expert on national security, and on immigration. Margaret Stock has worked tirelessly for individuals and small businesses – not for corporations and special interests.”

“Margaret Stock is running as an Independent. She is not a politician! I am Vic Fischer. I’m voting for Margaret Stock for US Senate and hope you will too!”

The Centrist Project

The Centrist Project is the leading national organization working to break the partisan hold on the U.S. Senate by electing Independent, centrist Senators to bring common-sense, effective leadership to Washington. They transcend party politics in order to support excellent moderate candidates who will restore functionality to Congress and fulfill their obligation to the people.

“The Centrist Project endorsed Margaret Stock because she can go to Washington and represent the best interests of Alaska and our country, not beholden to party bosses and corporate interests.”

“The Centrist Project believes that a handful of Independent Senators – like Margaret Stock – committed to solving problems and good governance, who are fiscally responsible, socially tolerant, and environmentally responsible can breakthrough the gridlock and become the moderating force to get things done in Congress.

“The Centrist Project endorsed Margaret Stock because she can go to Washington and represent the best interests of Alaska and our country, not beholden to party bosses and corporate interests. She devoted her impressive career to serving the military and tackling tough immigration and national security issues. She has the right skill set to forge solutions to our nation’s challenges in a collaborative, common sense manner to get Washington working again. We cannot expect better political outcomes unless we can get beyond the pettiness of the two parties. Margaret Stock is exactly the right kind of smart, thoughtful, public-minded Independent necessary to challenge the broken system.”

“I have known Margaret Stock for nearly 20 years. Her commitment, compassion, and dedication for representing those in need here in Alaska has been a cornerstone of her personality.

“Brilliant and tireless, Margaret’s position on reversing Citizens United, measured and sane gun control discussions and willingness to stand up for the people of Alaska have put me in her corner.

“In addition, the historic Republican representation for Alaska has been irreparably damaged by our current Alaska delegation’s inability to stand against the current Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump, who I consider to be the biggest embarrassment to the United States of America since slavery.”
