Matthew W. Claman (born 1959) is an American politician and attorney serving as a member of the Alaska Senate since 2023, representing West Anchorage.
[3] Claman is a trial and appellate attorney with Lane Powell, a regional law firm, and is past President of the Alaska Bar Association.
Claman has introduced legislation for a statewide vote to amend the Constitution of Alaska and limit the session to 90 days.
In response to reports about incidents of inappropriate conduct between undercover police officials and alleged sex workers, which revealed a legal loophole (not only in Alaska, but in all U.S. states) that allows police officers to engage in sex acts with prostitution suspects prior to their arrest, Claman introduced legislation (Alaska HB 112) to make it illegal.
[11] Claman is married to Lisa Rieger, who works for Cook Inlet Tribal Council, one of Alaska's most successful non-profit corporations.
