Alaska State Sen. David Wilson (R-Wasilla)

Future Caucus, a left-leaning political activist organization, announced Jan. 17 that it has selected Alaska State Senators David Wilson (R-Wasilla) and Löki Tobin (D-Anchorage) to participate in a nationwide fellowship program tailored for Gen Z and millennial state legislators who demonstrate a willingness to “build bipartisan coalitions.”

While Future Caucus’ website says it exists to “activate young leaders to bridge the partisan divide and transform American politics,” the organization supports radical, hard-leftist political goals, including extreme elements of the LGBTQ agenda.

Formerly known as the Millennial Action Project, the group recently rebranded its name.

Influence Watch, however, notes that while the group claims to be nonpartisan, it “is funded by left-of-center nonprofit groups and promotes many left-of-center policy goals, especially liberal expansionist immigration policy, government job training programs, environmentalist regulations, and gun control. MAP has organized legislators in Congress and at the state-level to form voting blocs to pass targeted bills.”

While Sen. Tobin is a far-left Democrat, Sen. Wilson is a Republican who hails from the conservative Mat-Su Borough.

In 2022, Republican Party leaders in the Mat-Su unanimously passed a strongly worded resolution condemning Wilson for abandoning GOP values and choosing to help form a left-leaning Democratic controlled bipartisan majority in the Alaska State Senate.

Wilson is one of eight Republicans who rejected efforts to form a GOP majority despite the fact that Alaskans elected 11 Republicans to the 20-member Senate.

Thanks to Republican defectors, Democrats have since controlled key leadership posts and powerful committee assignments, which have effectively undermined and marginalized conservative Republicans.

“David Wilson has betrayed the voters of (Senate) District N after running for office as a Republican,” the November 2022 resolution stated. “David Wilson abandoned the Republican Caucus without warning to the voters in his district who would have urged him to keep faith with them and with the other Republican Senators from the Mat-Su.”

The resolution went on to blast Wilson for joining a “leftist-controlled coalition that is fundamentally at odds with the interests of residents of the Mat-Su Valley.”

Wilson was one of just seven Republicans selected for the Future Caucus fellowship. The other 22 fellows were all Democrats.

In choosing Tobin and Wilson, Future Caucus praised the lawmakers for “their willingness to work across the aisle and their commitment to prioritizing legislative results over scoring personal political points.”

Over the course of the next year, both Tobin and Wilson will have access to trainings aimed at giving them skills to “apply forward-looking approaches to complex policy challenges.”

“Last year, the average surface temperatures for the Arctic were the sixth warmest since 1900 and summer surface temperatures were the warmest on record,” Tobin said upon being announced as a Future Caucus fellow. “The normalizing of 100-year storms and dying fisheries are only the tip of the melting icebergs. It’s time for bold bipartisan legislation that gets us quickly onto a pathway for a just transition. We can’t afford to not act.”

Wilson was less specific about his goals, saying he was “looking forward to working with other legislators from around the country to find creative solutions to healthcare issues.” He’s also excited about networking and collaborating to “address policy solutions that will lead to positive community outcomes.”

    Whew. I am surprised he can even show up at local meetings considering he is such a sell-out.

    Powers and Principalities…

  • Ben says:

    According to Joel, gay people simply being allowed to exist is “extreme radical hard leftism”. Nothing more then buzzwords use to label anyone who’s not conservative enough with no real meaning behind it.

    • Friend of Humanity says:

      neB.

    • Reggie Taylor says:

      Go exist quietly behind closed doors, not loudly demanding Church blessings and special legal status.

      • micah says:

        Remember when the sales pitch was “living quiet lives of dignity”?

        What a sham that was. Wherever these people go corruption and degradation follow. Look at our society now.

    • Sterling Crone says:

      i wouldnt trust anyone protesting over words or buzzwords who doesnt know the difference between “then” and “than”.

      • Friend of Humanity says:

        Good reminder. I was just thinking about this lately and now have looked it up. Merriam Webster (if we can trust this dictionary anymore) states:
        “Keeping ‘Then’ and ‘Than’ Separate
        To keep this pair of words straight, focus on this basic difference: than is used when you’re talking about comparisons; then is used when you’re talking about something relating to time.”

      • Joel says:

        You have no actual argument so you have to resort to nitpicking the most minor of spelling mistakes. Like most conservative you don’t actually attack the argument or ideas of your opponent you simply go after their character.

  • Friend of Humanity says:

  • HomeschoolersToldYou says:

    Wilson is not bipartisan…he is not a Constitutional Republican, he is not honest, he has stabbed the Valley in the back again and again. He is beholden to money and budgets and scared and spineless to stand up for any principles.. He is as double crossing as Murkowski.

  • DaveMaxwell says:

    After all according to Martin Luther “ we are to judge according to their character not by the color of their skin “!
    Have we forgotten that?

    • DaveMaxwell says:

      Incorrect Joel. My comment regarding his color is simply stating what has permeated the minds of the “ obsessed media goons “who like good communist are repeating the racist lie over and over again in hopes that it will eventually stick and become “truth “! My effort was simply sarcasm! Just for emphasis I’ll repeat what I already quoted from Martin Luther “ judge by their character not by the color of their skin “!!!’nn

  • Lucinda says:

    The goal of the group is, “ activate young leaders to bridge the partisan divide and transform American politics,” . But the far right christian nationalists do not want social unity, only division and chaos.

    • Friend of Humanity says:

      Lucinda, and once again you accuse the people who love humanity and wish for it to exist; when it is actually you and all of your demon worshipping co-workers and your demon bosses doing these very things.

      • Joel says:

        Humanity has existed long before Christianity and it will exist perfectly fine with or without it. Believing in Demon mumbo jumbo is like believing in the tooth fairy or Santa.

      • Friend of Humanity says:

        Jxxx (I won’t spell your name because you are trolling the editor), I said humanity – I said nothing about “Christianity.” Humanity is here because of the Creator of ALL Creation God Almighty Yhwh; even the original snake himself – your master – was created by God Almighty. Humanity exists with God Almighty’s blessings, but cannot exist without him. Even Satan, Lucifer, the Devil – whatever you call him, cannot exist without God Almighty. I, personally, do not believe in the tooth fairy or in Santa; but, I believe in and have faith in God Almighty.

      • Lucinda says:

        So, FOSOH, what you’re saying is neener-neener. Is that correct?

  • Ronald Ruck says:

    Sen. Robb Meyers is the state co-chair of this group

  • Friend of Humanity says:

    This apparently is making the rounds around the internet again. How cool! Kennedy grandchildren singing “TIMBER” song. It’s going down!
