AKConvo #016 - Understanding The Alaska Legislature | Elijah Verhagen AKconvo

Casey talks with legislative staffer, local politico, and undeclared candidate for Alaska House District 6 Elijah Verhagen. The Alaska legislature is the smallest state governing body in the country. Alaskan's, especially those that spend time and effort following politics in Alaska, elevate our state representatives higher than in other states in the country. We discuss what it is like to be a staff member, what actually gets done, and how people get along. We also have a discussion about the infrastructure of political parties, the presence of lobbyists, and how a bill becomes law.
