State Senator Bill Wielechowski moved to Anchorage 24 years ago because of his sense of adventure and love for the outdoors. After practicing law in New Jersey and later at a private practice in Anchorage, he eventually took a job as the attorney for the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers where he has been for 18 years. After losing an East Anchorage Assembly race in 2004, he was elected to his first term as a state senator in 2006. He is known for his fearlessness in standing up to the oil industry and for advocating for a full permanent fund dividend.
