25th Alaska State Legislature

All forty representatives and one-half of the senate (ten members) were elected to their terms on November 7, 2006.

In the 2006 elections, a voter initiative championed by freshman Fairbanks representative Jay Ramras was passed by voters, which reduced the statutory length of the session from the existing length of 120 days to 90 days.

Although the second session adjourned on time, some members of the legislature claimed that legislation was rushed and public input was jeopardized.

The majority leader was the same legislator as it was in the last session, a Republican, who joined the bi-partisan coalition.

The President of the Senate is Republican Lyda Green of District G (Matanuska-Susitna Valley).
