East Anchorage Matters with Rep. Andrew Gray

State Rep. Cliff Groh (D-Anchorage): on Polish heritage, Republican roots, & tracking legislative corruption

Rep. Andrew Gray Season 1 Episode 17

AK State House Representative Cliff Groh, II, was born and raised in Anchorage. Although he himself is a life-long Democrat, his father Cliff Groh, Sr., the son of illiterate Polish immigrants, was an important Republican figure in Alaska State politics. In fact, the Groh Gallery in the Alaska Senate is named after him.  We talk about the younger Cliff's childhood, why he is a Democrat, and his journalistic coverage of corruption in the Alaska legislature and by US Senator Ted Stevens, who was a close family friend of the Grohs.
