From the transcript

I'm here to offer my wholehearted support for the appointment of Mark Vizcocho to the Kodiak Island Borough Assembly. I've had the privilege of working alongside Mark in several capacities, and when Mark commits to something, he gives it everything he has. A perfect example was when we began to establish the Kodiak Youth Football League. I reached out to Mark and asked if he would help create a program for the youth and families of our community, and there was no hesitation. He jumped in with both feet.
