Senate President Gary Stevens Welcomes New Members to the Senate

 

Anchorage, AK - Today, Senate Republicans met in Anchorage to confirm Representative George Rauscher, R-Sutton, and Representative Cathy Tilton, R-Wasilla, to the Senate. They replace Senator Mike Shower and Senator Shelley Hughes, who both stepped down earlier this month. Senator Gary Stevens, R-Kodiak, issued the following statement:


“I want to welcome newly appointed Senators Rauscher and Tilton and thank them for stepping forward at such an important time for Alaska. We have major work ahead—stabilizing our fiscal outlook, strengthening education, and charting the course for a gasline—and collaboration will be essential. I look forward to working with them during the upcoming legislative session as we take on these challenges together.”
