 Alaska Politics at its Finest!

Alaska has had its share of unconventional politicians...

Walter Hickel was elected as the first Republican governor of Alaska in 1966

He was the only other governor besides Sarah to quit before his term was up

 He quit when Richard Nixon appointed him U.S. Secretary of the Interior.

In 1990 Wally Hickel abandoned the Republican party and ran on the Alaska Independent Party ticket...and won!

Walter Hickel Born in Kansas was known to be a colorful character full of life and stories and big ideas...

 He came to Alaska in 1940 with 37 cents in his pocket.

 

 He was one of the men who pioneered this great state and is admired by all.

"I want to be buried standing up so I can fight for what I believe in forever."

 He died May 7,2010. He was 90 years young.

 

Lisa says she is not done fighting for Alaska.... The next 42 days will tell the story...

 

Who Knows in Alaska what the final tally will be...

 But one thing we do know is.... it will be a wild and wooly ride!
