About Me

I am Grant EchoHawk, and I am honored to be running for Alaska’s House District 1 to represent Ketchikan, Wrangell, Metlakatla, Coffman Cove, Whale Pass, Hyder, Loring, and Meyers Chuck.  I was born in Fairbanks, raised in a fishing family in Metlakatla where I spent many summers on a gillnetter and exploring Annette Island as a child and now make my home in beautiful downtown Ketchikan. 


Although I originally had no aspirations of being in the political arena, I was driven to take the experience and knowledge I have acquired and use it to assist the community wherever I can.  The arts, education, economic development, and programs that have a direct benefit to the community that I call home are very important to me, and the driving force that led me to serve on various boards and committees that introduced me to the local nonprofit network and other institutions of knowledge and learning.  


It was this community-first focus, along with meaningful conversations with people who held different opinions than my own, that led me to public service.  I do believe that there is too much divisive and incendiary language throughout the political landscape and believe that we can do things differently, we can do things better.  As I near the end of my first term as a Ketchikan Gateway Borough assembly member, I feel that I have maintained my core principles of service and cooperation  and would like to serve not just the community I live in, but all of House District 1.  My goal is to serve the communities of House District 1 with the same dedication of service over politics, adherence to high ethical standards, and equal representation to every member of the community that I have brought to my role as an assembly member.  


Over the next few months, I encourage anyone and everyone to contact me with information that would be helpful to best serve your community and or to discuss issues that are important to you.  I pride myself on forming opinions and making decisions based on good information, so I am always open to new information, points of view, any concerns, or even to discuss any disagreements we may have.  Ultimately, I believe that in order to be a strong and effective advocate for House District 1, I need to listen and cooperate at a local, regionally, and statewide level to ensure long-term prosperity for our communities.  It is these values and principles that will bring to the state house.


I humbly ask that you rank Grant EchoHawk as your first choice when you vote on August 20th & again on November 5th.

Thank you for your support and if privileged to do so, I look forward to representing you in Juneau!
