Background
Pre-election composition
Republicans formed a majority coalition during the 33rd Alaska State Legislature , consisting of 19 Republicans, 2 Democrats, and 2 Independents. Republican Cathy Tilton was elected speaker and Dan Saddler served as majority leader. Independent Calvin Schrage served as minority leader of the minority coalition, consisting of 11 Democrats, 4 Independents, and 1 Republican. Republican David Eastman , continued to caucus with neither party.
Independent Josiah Patkotak resigned October 10, 2023, to become mayor of North Slope Borough . Republican Thomas Baker was appointed by Governor Mike Dunleavy to replace him.
Post-election composition
On November 6, the day after the election, Independent Bryce Edgmon announced that a new majority coalition would be formed based on preliminary results. Once results finalized, Edgmon announced that he would serve as speaker, a role he previously held from 2017 to 2021, and Republican Chuck Kopp will serve as majority leader of the new majority coalition consisting of 14 Democrats, 5 Independents, and 2 Republicans. The remaining 19 Republicans will caucus in the minority. Eastman, the sole Republican who did not caucus with either side, lost re-election to Republican Jubilee Underwood .
The 34th Alaska State Legislature is scheduled to begin January 21, 2025, and new members will take office the same day. The House will also be majority women with 21 members for the first time in Alaska's history.
