In his second attempt to replace the late Anchorage Republican state Sen. Chris Birch, Alaska Gov. Mike Dunleavy has picked Rep. Josh Revak, he announced at a Friday news conference.
Revak is an Anchorage Republican representing Abbott Loop and lower Hillside’s District 25. He was selected from a list of names advanced by local GOP leaders. Revak is Dunleavy’s second choice for the job, after Senate Republicans, in a tie vote, failed to approve Anchorage GOP Rep. Laddie Shaw, who the governor named to Birch’s seat in August.
