East Anchorage Matters with Rep. Andrew Gray
State Rep. Justin Ruffridge (R - Soldotna): on education, religion, and avoiding hyper-partisanship
Republican Justin Ruffridge represents Soldotna in the Alaska State House and currently co-chairs the Freshmen Caucus with the host of this podcast. Justin moved to Kenai, Alaska, when he was 9 years old so that his parents could run a small Christian school there. Raised in a very conservative environment – no rock music, no mainstream movies or television, no dancing – he brings a unique perspective to the House Education Committee which he co-chairs.
The first half of this episode was recorded at the Anchorage Airport. The second half was recorded today, April 17, 2023, at the Capitol.
