The state of Alaska’s office in Washington, D.C. is vacant, leaving Gov. Mike Dunleavy’s staff in Alaska to advocate for the state’s agenda in the nation’s capital — more than 3,500 miles away.
WASHINGTON —
Dunleavy spokesman Jeff Turner said in an email last week that “the recruitment process for a new director is underway and interviews with qualified applicants are being conducted.” Once considered a key connection between the state and federal government, the office has dwindled over the past decade. Under Republican Gov. Sean Parnell, five people worked for Alaska’s office in D.C.. His successor, independent Gov. Bill Walker,Dunleavy, a Republican, tapped Kip Knudson to direct the office in 2019. Knudson — who had worked a past stint as director under Parnell — retired in February 2022.
