The Alaska Legislature is still struggling to pick its new leaders in the wake of this year’s elections.
While members of the Alaska Senate believe they will pick a new Senate president before the Legislature convenes Jan. 19 in Juneau, members of the Alaska House of Representatives say they expect their leadership deadlock to extend through the session’s start.
Several legislators said the situation is similar to the 2018 session, when the House deadlocked for a month and failed to pick a leader until February.
