Mat-Su Assembly member and Deputy Mayor Ron Arvin has announced his intention to file for the District 12 House seat currently held by Rep. Bill Stoltze, with Stoltze seeming blessing. Arvin, a second-term Assembly member, was endorsed by members of the Valley legislative delegation in his last race including Senate President Charlie Huggins, Reps. Stoltze and Gattis to name a few.
In a related matter, Palmer City Council woman and state Senate candidate Edna DeVries has indicated that she’ll be supporting Bill Stoltze’s Senate bid and will most likely be dropping out of the race.
This race is all primary.
Arvin will be a strong House candidate. Obviously, Councilwoman DeVries respects Bill Stoltze and knows that he is a strong candidate at the ballot box. -kd bet on both of them being in the legislature come January 2015.
