"I will be supporting Mike with my vote for GBOS. 

I first met Mike and Kalie at a fundraiser for a local non-profit shortly after they moved here and and I remember thinking what a great addition they both were to Girdwood.
Since that time Mike has worked tirelessly on behalf of our community on a range of issues. While housing has been a primary topic, from ADU's to Holton Hills to Prop 7, I also appreciate the time and effort Mike has put into other key but not as well known issues.  For example, identifying that the 2021 Girdwood property tax assessments were incorrect, and working with the MOA to positively solve that problem and quickly move forward to a solution.

This was a great example of how many different and complicated subjects come before the GBOS. I have always felt very confident about how Mike represents Girdwood to the MOA and the Assembly both as a positive problem solver and knowledgeable community member.
Mike has devoted a massive amount of time to staying on top of hyperlocal issues, all while being responsive to community voices and different opinions."

"Effective local politics is about forging connections between people and between communities. Mike has worked hard to be a positive and respected voice representing Girdwood to the Assembly, the Municipal Administration and to other local cities such as Whittier that have much in common with us. 

It's not easy for an Irishman to say nice things about an Englishman, but I wholeheartedly support Mike for GBOS."

“As an Assembly member who has represented Girdwood for the past six years, I’ve worked closely with Mike and have seen firsthand how hard he works to advocate for Girdwood. He’s a dedicated public servant who wants the very best for his community. Mike has shown over and over that he is solution-oriented, does his homework and is committed to respectful dialogue, especially when the topic is tough.
With a deep knowledge of the issues facing Girdwood and experience with local government, Mike is a highly effective advocate for his community - and someone you want to have a beer with!”

"During my 6 years on the Assembly, a lot of good came the way of Girdwood. A big reason for that was the persistent and productive work of Mike Edgington. 

Mike’s work ethic and ability are off the chart. In 2021, Mike found, in the massive amount of budget data, a huge increase in the mil rate for Girdwood.  The cause of the error was complicated and somewhat obscure but Mike figured it out, got the info to the assembly and administration and proposed a fix just in time before the mil rate was locked in.  Every Girdwood resident dodged a 20% tax increase thanks to Mike.  

That’s all in a day’s work for Mike.  His knowledge of Girdwood’s and Anchorage’s land use code has led  to consistent improvements over his time on the GBOS.  He has been persistent in looking for ways to enhance the amazing community’s independence and effectiveness.  The list is long.

I have learned plenty from Mike and am honored to endorse him and to count him as a friend."

"Mike Edgington has been a positive influence in Girdwood for many years.  He is a very good listener, well read & informed on local topics, and open-minded discussing both sides of any issue. He has been a very productive & professional contributor to GBOS.

I strongly encourage Girdwood residents to cast their vote for Mike Edgington to continue his work with GBOS."
