Rep. Bryce Edgmon speaks at the Alaska Federation of Natives Convention in Anchorage on Oct. 19, 2024.
Edgmon, who co-chairs the House Finance Committee, also recognized the fiscal realities lawmakers may face in the coming year. The price of oil, whether low or high, has a dynamic impact on the state economy. Edgmon said that he and his colleagues are watching oil prices closely. Among the members of the Bush Caucus are both Sens. Lyman Hoffman of Bethel and Donny Olson of Nome, two of the chambers longest-seated lawmakers. Reps. Neal Foster, a Democrat from Nome, and Conrad “CJ” McCormick, a Democrat from Bethel, were also on stage at AFN. Both are also running for reelection this year.
