Nancy Dahlstrom
American politician (born 1957)
Nancy Dahlstrom (born August 13, 1957) is an American politician who has served as the 15th lieutenant governor of Alaska since December 2022. She previously served as a Republican member of the Alaska House of Representatives, representing the 18th and 13th districts. She was appointed to the House at the beginning of the legislative session in 2003 when the representative-elect, Lisa Murkowski, was appointed to the United States Senate.[1]
Dahlstrom resigned from the House to take a position in the administration of Governor Sean Parnell, then resigned from that position after less than a month when constitutional issues arose.
She was again elected to the House 2018. However, she would decline to be seated, instead accepting a position in the administration of Governor Mike Dunleavy. Dunleavy appointed Sharon Jackson to fill the full-term vacancy.[2]
She announced on November 14, 2023, that she would run for the 2024 United States House of Representatives election in Alaska, seeking to unseat incumbent Democrat Mary Peltola.[3]
