State Rep. Julie Coulombe (R - Anchorage): on family, Save Anchorage, and finding common ground

East Anchorage Matters with Rep. Andrew Gray

Alaska State Representative Julie Coulombe represents the hillside in Anchorage. Raised in a conservative Christian household in the suburbs of Chicago and later Atlanta, she met her husband her freshman year of college in Alabama. They married and moved to Anchorage over thirty years ago. Although always involved in the community, it wasn’t until she joined the conservative Facebook group Save Anchorage during the Covid shutdowns that she became especially active. This ultimately led to her running for the State House. She is a member of the Republican House Majority Caucus and the Freshmen Caucus. She serves on the coveted House finance committee.
