Alaska Current: Allard “Garnered Attention” In 2023 For Being “The Biggest Roadblock To A Permanent Increase In Education Funding.” “After several years, Rep. David Eastman has finally been dethroned as the worst Alaska legislator. That honor goes to Eagle River Republican Rep. Jamie Allard, who transitioned from Anchorage Assembly to the Alaska Legislature about how you’d expect it to go. With a high-profile platform as the chair of the House Education Committee, Allard garnered plenty of attention as not only the biggest roadblock to a permanent increase in education funding but also as one of the biggest and loudest cheerleaders of the governor’s odious ‘don’t say gay’ bill that was masquerading as ‘parental rights’ legislation.” [The Alaska Current, 6/9/23]

Alaska Current: Allard Drew Attention “Over Her Treatment Of Teachers, School District Officials And Labor Representatives, Which Apparently Included Shouting Matches And Kicking People Out Of Hearings.” “Allard has an overall score of 1.33 and finished last in intelligence by a large margin with 1.39. She also got plenty of chatter during this session over her treatment of teachers, school district officials and labor representatives, which apparently included shouting matches and kicking people out of hearings, followed up by self-serving accounts after the fact.” [The Alaska Current, 6/9/23]
