Representative Andy Josephson was born and raised here in Anchorage, and although he is the son of former Alaska state Senator and Anchorage Assembly member Joe Josephson, Andy didn’t initially think politics was for him. In 2012, though, he followed in his father’s footsteps getting elected to the Alaska State House where he represented the UMED district until 2022. After the redistricting process he ran to represent the Taku-Campbell District; he was successful, and now with 11 legislative sessions under his belt, he is the most senior Democrat in the House minority caucus. He currently serves on the coveted finance committee.
