Shelley Hughes: Bridge Builder for Alaska | Anchorage News

Shelley Hughes, a Republican with over a decade of legislative experience, is running for Alaska governor, leveraging her record as Senate Judiciary chair and majority leader to showcase her bipartisan chops. She resigned her Senate seat to focus on the campaign, citing her ability to build bridges across party lines — even sharing a bus ride anecdote where Democrats expressed hope she’d win. Hughes highlights key wins like repealing controversial SB 91, advancing education, and securing a FAA testing site for UAF to launch Alaska’s drone industry. With a deep understanding of Alaska’s diverse regions, she’s targeting the state’s fiscal deficit, pushing for government efficiencies through an inspector general and audit commission, and championing private sector growth and a fair Permanent Fund dividend — all while positioning herself as a practical, long-term leader for every Alaskan.
