- Delegate from Territory of Alaska.
- Resigned to become United States Secretary of the Interior.
- Led by a coalition with a Republican House speaker, Tom Fink.
- The Democratic Speaker of the House, Jim Duncan, was voted out on June 16, 1981, eight days before the end of session. He was replaced by a tri-partisan coalition of Republicans, native Bush Democrats, and Libertarians (the Libertarians later dropped out) led by Republican Joe Hayes, which remained through the end of this Legislature. The overall partisan composition of the House remained unchanged, and the coalition led by Hayes was preserved in a slightly different form in the next Legislature as well.[3][4]
- Led by a coalition with a Republican House Speaker, Ramona L. Barnes.[5]
- The representative elected under the AKIP banner, Carl E. Moses, switched his party affiliation to Democratic on May 24, 1994, shortly after Hickel's party switch, but the coalition that elected the Republican Speaker stayed in place.
- One senator was elected under the Republican Moderate Party banner, but switched his party affiliation to Republican before the actual start of his term.
