Vote Against Jubilee Underwood

Jubilee Underwood let a back-door gun grab sneak through committee without a fight.

HB 222, a back-door red-flag gun ban that:

• Allows firearm restrictions without a criminal conviction
• Permits ex parte orders before the accused is heard
• Allows employers to initiate “protective-order” proceedings
• Uses civil standards rather than the criminal burden of proof

HB 222 was heard and passed out of Judiciary Committee, 5-15-2026.

Underwood is still biting her tongue and won’t answer her Alaska Gun Rights Candidate Survey.

Alaska Gun Rights urges your opposition to her re-election in District 27.

I, Richard McClure, Chair, Approve This Message.

Voting to Kill

It was utterly shameful.

Representative Kevin McCabe, the freshman representative from Big Lake (R), voted against your 2nd Amendment rights this spring.

Rep. McCabe and his cohorts voting to table(kill) pro-2nd Amendment language

He joined in with a bunch of anti-gun democrats and RINOs, to vote to kill (table) a pro-2A amendment to the State’s budget.

This amendment would prevent the University of Alaska from enforcing so-called “gun-free” zones on the campus, thus not allowing “Campus Carry”, and continuing to enforce “Criminal Safety Zones” on campus.

This is a deep betrayal of his oath to protect and defend YOUR 2nd Amendment rights.

To add insult to injury, he completely broke his word that he gave to our members to support the anti-red flag act (House Bill 152).

Not only did he refuse to support it, as he promised on his candidate survey he would, he actually worked to undermine and oppose it actively on the House Floor!

His collaboration with the anti-gun zealots was a betrayal of the highest order.

What is even more bizarre, is that he still claims to be pro-gun!

Nearly immediately (two days) after the vote, he was shouting at our members at a gun show in Big Lake, claiming that we were lying.

The votes don’t lie Kevin.

He was the only member of the Mat-Su Valley’s representation in Juneau to vote yes to table/kill the amendment which would have allowed Campus Carry.

He seems to be completely detached from the reality of his actions and votes.

Please add your name to those calling him to accountability here.

If Mr. McCabe has an ounce of integrity left, he should resign.

Stalwart Defender of the 2nd Amendment

Representative Eastman is a stalwart Defender of the 2nd Amendment.

He has voted to protect Gun Rights at every opportunity, without compromising to the demands of anti-gun extremists.

He has sponsored and co-sponsored pro-gun legislation throughout his tenure in office.

Vote for a proven Pro-Gun Champion!

Tim Flip-Flops on Gun Rights

Of course it’s election season and he’s trying to spin spin spin… and misdirection.

Assemblymember Hale, voted for the anti-gun range ordinance repeatedly (before he voted to repeal it).

He voted to back Vern Halter’s shenanigans, when he “vetoed” the repeal initially, and he voted to sustain his “veto”. https://matanuska.legistar.com/LegislationDetail.aspx?ID=4330255&GUID=A19BACC9-D40C-4AA9-9BF3-DDC3AAD7F24C

Only because he has felt the heat of the grassroots holding him accountable, has he attempted to change his tune, after seeing his co-conspirators lose their own elections last year, and the repeal of the anti-gun range ordinance was inevitable.

He’s attempting to placate and spin the people.

One vote against the 2nd Amendment is one vote too many!

Victory! Tyrannical 2nd Amendment Suppression OVERTURNED!

Alaskans like you who are committed to no-compromise gun rights demanded the full repeal of the tyrannical gun range ordinance, and were rewarded with a unanimous vote to fully repeal the Mat-Su Borough’s tyrannical overreach and suppression of our 2nd Amendment rights.

There were 2nd Amendment advocates and speakers demanding the full repeal, and Alaska Gun Rights:

  • Organized calls and emails demanding full repeal.
  • Recruited 2nd Amendment enthusiasts to attend and speak.
  • Educated and mobilized the pro-gun constituents to hold their Assemblymembers accountable.
  • Kept the pressure on the Assembly to bring a full repeal.
  • Delivered well over a THOUSAND petitions demanding full repeal!
(Delivering your petitions to the Borough Assembly)

And you’ve been with us every step of the way – THANK YOU!

But the work isn’t done. We went to Fairbanks this past weekend to get the word out about two dangerous bills introduced in the Alaska Legislature:

  • Adam Wool and Steve Thompson’s dangerous “Home Invasion Incentive Act,” HB 203.
  • Geran Tarr and Harriet Drummond’s radical “Red Flag” gun confiscation bill, HB 122.

You stood up and defended your gun rights on Tuesday night, and we won a critical victory.

Let’s keep taking the fight to the enemy and make sure our 2ndAmendment rights are never suppressed by anti-gun extremists again.
