DEED Spotlight on Policymakers

Senator Shelley Hughes, District F (Chugiak, Peters Creek, Eklutna, Fairview Loop, Butte, Lazy Mountain, Gateway, and Palmer).

Senator Shelley Hughes has been an avid lifelong reader. She loved reading Shel Silverstein’s “Jimmy Jet and his TV Set” to her children when they were young – a poem about a boy who watched so much TV he turned into a TV set! A great reminder to read more, and limit time spent on electronic devices.

Senator Hughes describes reading as an exhilarating gift. Reading opens up a whole new world that no one can ever take away from you! It expands your thinking, and makes you feel alive.

Read something today – read something EVERY day.

Thank you, Senator Hughes, for sharing the wonderful world of reading!
