State Rep. Sara Hannan (D - Juneau): on a childhood in Earthquake Park, Russia, & the value of defined benefits

East Anchorage Matters with Rep. Andrew Gray

State Representative Sara Hannan spent her childhood in West Anchorage. She graduated from the University of Alaska and took a job teaching at Mount Edgecumbe High School in Sitka. When oil prices crashed, the school cut back, and she lost her job. She moved to Juneau where she has been ever since, minus a brief foray to Vladivostok, Russia, where she was brutally assaulted and almost killed. We talk about all of that as well as her life in politics.
