Lesil McGuire is a lifelong Alaskan, former state senator, women’s and rural rights advocate, and mother. This episode is the premier of season 2 of Rep. Gray's legislative podcast: EAST ANCHORAGE MATTERS. Lesil lives in Anchorage and works as a consultant in the aerospace, technological innovation and Arctic policy sectors. We discuss why she became a lawyer, why she identifies as a Republican, and how she served for 16 years in the House and Senate by "leading with love." She served as the Senate Rules Chair, Co-Chair of the Alaska Arctic Policy Commission, and House Judiciary Chair.
The legislative update discusses:
1. Joint Session attempted veto override
2. House Bill 140 to increase the base student allocation
3. My special order honoring the late great AK State Senator Vic Fischer
