Douglas W. Isaacson (born October 18, 1957)[1] is an American Republican politician and a former member of the Alaska House of Representatives from District 1.
He enlisted in the United States Air Force shortly after graduating from high school and was a Russian translator in the military.
Isaacson earned his BA in linguistics from the University of Washington in Seattle; he received his master's degree in divinity from Western Seminary in Portland, Oregon.
[6] Isaacson fought for reducing the price of consumer energy, and was vocal in pressing for a "cost or supply benefit" for in-state refining of Alaska's royalty oil share for in-state use as required by Alaska law, notably AS 38.05.183.
The goal of the roundtables was to move toward lowering rate payer costs by examining restructuring the management of electrical transmission, clarify regulatory needs, and open access issues.
