District: Q (North Pole)
Senator Robert Myers of North Pole is the Minority Whip. He holds a bachelor’s degree in philosophy and makes his living driving big rigs around Alaska, including up the Haul Road to the North Slope.
The husband and father of five is a 2001 West Valley High School graduate who was first elected to the Alaska Senate in 2020 when he defeated a popular incumbent by 14 votes. He represents North Pole’s Senate District Q.
Senator Myers was born in Fairbanks. Until the age of 5, he spent his childhood at the Salchaket Roadhouse, located in Salcha, which his parents owned. There he developed a passion for Alaska before moving back to Fairbanks. He later put himself through college at the University of Alaska Fairbanks driving a tour bus, enabling him to share the state he loves with countless people. He finished paying off his student loans by working as a truck driver.
Prior to running for office, Senator Myers worked as an intern in the Alaska Legislature. Now, his philosophy is best described as a conservative republican. His goal as an elected official is to ensure Alaska will continue to be an attractive location for his children and grandchildren to make their home.
Despite belonging to a super minority in the 33rd Alaska Legislature, Senator Myers had three bills signed into law. Senate Bill 119 allows prisoners reentering civil society easier access to identification cards. Senate Bill 129 named a Richardson Highway bike path after Matt Glover, an avid cyclist who was killed in 2022 after colliding with a vehicle. Senate Bill 13 requires the University of Alaska to publish textbook costs in course catalogs.
