Topic: Conversation on Alaska Politics with Bill Walker, moderated by John Tracy
Hon. Bill Walker served as the 13th governor of Alaska from 2014 to 2018. In April 2019, he joined the law office of Brena, Bell & Walker, in Anchorage. He was born in Fairbanks, and raised in Delta Junction and Valdez. He graduated from Valdez High School in 1969 and received his B.S. in Business Management from Lewis & Clark College in 1973 and his J.D. from the University of Puget Sound (now Seattle University School of Law) in 1983. He and his wife, Donna, founded their own law firm, focusing on helping municipalities and oil and gas law. He served as mayor, city council member, and city attorney for the City of Valdez, and as general counsel for the Alaska Gas-line Port Authority. At 27, he was the Valdez’s youngest mayor. We’re quite honored to have him kick off our 2019-2020 lecture series.
John Tracy was a long-time news director and anchor at KTUU-TV (Channel 2), in Anchorage. He won numerous Emmy and Edward R. Murrow Awards as a reporter and news producer at KTUU. He is a member of the Alaska Broadcasters Hall of Fame. Some of the most memorable stories of his career were covering the Iditarod Sled Dog Race and the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill. In 2008, he became a partner at Bradley Reid + Associates, one of the state’s largest advertising and public relations firms, producing campaigns for some of the state’s biggest companies, including ConocoPhillips and Providence Alaska Medical Center. He recently retired from Bradley Reid + Associates (recently rebranded as Brilliantak).
Bill Walker joins John Tracy in a sit-down conversation. This will be an historical perspective on Alaska politics from a Statewide viewpoint.
