Public life in the Last Frontier has rarely been more interesting -- a full slate of federal and state elections, the influence of former Gov. Sarah Palin, the usual hardball Alaska politics.

Parnell appoints Tammie Wilson to the state House

From Sean Cockerham in Anchorage --
Gov. Sean Parnell just announced that he's appointing Tammie Wilson to take North Pole Republican John Coghill's seat in the state House.
The seat's open because Parnell appointed Coghill to the state Senate seat vacated by Gene Therriault's decision to take a job as an adviser to Parnell.
Wilson is a Fairbanks North Star Borough Assemblywoman. She lost a close race for Fairbanks borough mayor to Luke Hopkins earlier this month.
Local Republicans suggested three names for Parnell to choose from: Wilson, North Pole Mayor Doug Isaacson and former borough Assemblyman Mike Prax.
