Senator Elvi Gray-Jackson of Anchorage was born and raised in New Jersey. She came to Alaska 41 years ago as a young single mother. Through a series of what at first appeared to be unlucky events, she found herself leap-frogging her way up the Anchorage political ladder eventually landing as chair of the Anchorage Assembly – the first person of color to hold that office. We talk about that and how she got to the Senate. We had this conversation in her office on the ground floor of the Capitol and you will hear some street noise.
