On Air with Brett Huber
On Air with Brett Huber is an Alaska-first podcast about politics, policy, faith, culture, humor, and the future of the Last Frontier. Brett brings decades of experience in Alaska politics, campaigns, public policy, natural resources, and state government to help listeners understand what is happening, why it matters, and what comes next. This is not a dry policy show or another predictable political rant. It is a smart, honest, and entertaining conversation about the issues affecting Alaska families, businesses, communities, and the state's future.
Election Day is almost here, and Alaska politics is getting more unpredictable by the minute.
On this episode of On Air with Brett Huber, Brett and co-host Halle Carter tackle the final days of Alaska's election season, from the controversy surrounding two U.S. Senate candidates named Dan Sullivan to the Trump administration's election lawsuit and the increasingly contentious governor's race.
Brett shares his insider perspective on several Alaska legislative races, judicial retention elections, campaign tactics, and why voters often know so little about the people making decisions on their behalf. Halle brings her own questions, challenges Brett, and offers a different generational perspective on Alaska politics.
