East Anchorage Matters with Rep. Andrew Gray
State Rep. Ashley Carrick (D - Fairbanks): on being the tallest kid, her parent's divorce, and her LGBTQ status
Representative Ashley Carrick (D- Fairbanks) spent her childhood in south Anchorage. She graduated from the University of Alaska in Fairbanks and began work as a substitute teacher. She ran for the Fairbanks School Board at the age of 24, and although she lost, ended up as staff to Representative (now Senator) Scott Kawasaki, and later Representative Adam Wool. When Wool decided not to run for re-election, Carrick found herself well-positioned to run for his seat. We discuss all that as well as her bisexuality and her decision to be open about it during her campaign.
