Sen. Murkowski shares experience with constituents
The following story ran in Alaska Senator Lisa Murkowski's March e-newsletter:
 Sen. Murkowski meets with Special Olympics Alaska Athlete Jacob Kerr of Anchorage during his visit to Washington. With Sen. Murkowski are, from left, Joe Jonas of the Jonas Brothers, Jacob's Father Kevin; Jacob Kerr; Tim Shriver, Chairman, Special Olympics; and Jim Balamaci, President and CEO, Special
Olympics Alaska.
Recently, I had the pleasure of meeting with Jacob Kerr from Anchorage who was visiting Washington as part of the Special Olympics' Capitol Hill Day. Jacob is a senior at East High School and competes in snowboarding, basketball, bowling and golf. As a Special Olympics Alaska Athlete, Jacob will compete in snowboarding at the state Winter Games in March.
During his visit, Jacob lobbied members of Congress to support the Eunice Kennedy Shriver Act, which would provide funding for the Special Olympics Program. Jacob shared with me his experiences in Special Olympics and the positive impact the program has had on his life. Jacob was joined by Joe Jonas of the Jonas Brothers music group who was also on the Hill to promote the Special Olympics program to lawmakers.
In Alaska, Special Olympics serves more than 2,000 athletes and has more than 1,300 students with and without intellectual disabilities. If you'd like to learn more about the Special Olympics in Alaska, please visit their website.
Kerr met with many lawmakers in Washington, including Congressman Don Young. Fellow student and East Partners Club member Daniel Fink also traveled to D.C. to represent Special Olympics Alaska.
