Alyse Galvin: State House Representative and former congressional candidate

Send us Fan MailRepresentative Alyse Galvin  represents Midtown Anchorage in the Alaska State House, but she is most well known for her two runs for the US House in 2018 and 2020 against long-term Congressman Don Young. Earning 46.7% of the vote, she came closer to defeating him than any other challenger in his 49-year tenure. A third generation Alaska, Alyse's childhood was difficult. So difficult that some will find it unbelievably hard, while for too many Alaskans, it will sound all too familiar. We talk about how her challenges as a youth inspire her indefatigable work to strengthen families and improve Alaska's public education system.
