AML is a statewide, non-partisan organization. Our Intergovernmental Affairs team provides education and input to legislators about upcoming legislation that impacts our 165 member municipalities and boroughs, many of whom depend on AML to represent their perspectives and amplify their voices. Our advocacy positions are informed by member input, our Board of Directors, and our Legislative Action Committee. 

We encourage our members to learn from each other and to share examples of their own advocacy through resolutions, projects, or plans. Below are some examples of advocacy from our members:

• FY27 Legislative Priorities for the City and Borough of Sitka: Final FY27 Legislative Priorities 012126 | Final FY27 Unfunded Mandates 012126
