Many of us think of Eagle River-Chugiak as a conservative stronghold where an independent non-partisan candidate wouldn’t have a chance. However, the truth is that Eagle River-Chugiak, like most parts of Alaska, is a heterogeneous community with many different voices. Assembly Candidate Gretchen Wehmhoff is counting on that diverse population taking a chance on her. After 21 years as a teacher at Chugiak High School, she officially retired but has continued part-time teaching, both within the school district and at the University of Alaska Anchorage. In a somewhat unexpected turn of events, she became the co-publisher of the Skagway News and out of necessity has turned into an expert on that southeast community. In 2018, she was appointed to fill the seat left behind when Assembly member Amy Demboski went to work in Gov. Dunleavy’s administration, which means that Gretchen knows what she’s in for if she gets elected. NOTE: there are some sound issues with the first couple of minutes of recording, but they resolve after the first 3 minutes.

It's kind of nice to see that we have helped raise a generation or two behind us, to say 'you wanna do what because I'm a woman?'Emily and Gretchen talk all things Anchorage (Alaska!) and the difficulties of rural life in a conversation that really has no right to be as funny as it is. Go Team Gretchen!
