Talk:Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins

I'll offer more comments later, as I'm in a bit of a rush to finish something right now. Thanks for the DOB, as I hadn't bother searching for it yet. Based more on memory than on painstaking research, I believe this places JKT as the fifth-youngest member of the Alaska House overall, behind Terry Gardiner, John Sackett, Russ Meekins, Jr. and Bob Giersdorf. Sympathetic media outlets which reported on his victory only mentioned Gardiner, implying that he was higher on this list than he really is.

 * To expand on this: Robert Woolsey of KCAW (the public radio station in Kreiss-Tomkins's hometown) reported several times on this, including one story in which he explicitly stated that he was the third-youngest member ever of the House (behind Gardiner and Sackett). Woolsey evidently didn't do very thorough research, yet this has been parroted far and wide, including by people who should know better.  To clarify the contention made in my previous comments:
