Alaska Senate President Peter Micciche, R-Soldotna, will not seek reelection this year. He says he wants to spend more time with his family.
Micciche was first elected to the Senate in 2012 and was Senate president this year and last. He led a Republican-majority caucus whose members had sharply different views on the annual dividend paid to residents from Alaska’s oil-wealth fund.
Senate Minority Leader Tom Begich last week called Micciche a friend. The two spoke to reporters in Micciche’s office early Thursday morning about their impressions of the session that had just ended.
