East Anchorage Matters with Rep. Andrew Gray
Alaska State Senator Shelley Hughes (R - Palmer): on Hoonah, parenting, & bipartisanship
AK State Senator Shelley Hughes of Palmer moved to Hoonah, Alaska, in the late 70s as a young adult to help establish a religious community with her parents. We talk about that experience, as well as her travels around Alaska with her husband and young family, and ultimately how she ended up involved in Alaska politics. We also discuss some of her policy interests.
Legislative Update for Monday, Feb. 5, 2024:
1. My vote on HB 129 -- Rep. Vance's election reform bill
2. Floor speech on difficulty of modelling all of public school on charter schools.
