Election Day is fast approaching, and Unalaskans will have the chance to cast their ballots in a number of state races on November 6. This week, KUCB is airing interviews with candidates for Alaska’s one congressional seat and with the region’s representatives in the State Legislature who are up for reelection.

Today, KUCB’s Alexandra Gutierrez has this Q&A with State Representative Sharon Cissna. She’s the underdog in a race against Rep. Don Young for Alaska’s one seat in the house. In this chat, Cissna discusses transportation, telecommunications, and the challenges of representing a state as large and diverse as Alaska.
