## Resource

House Speaker Bryce Edgmon is pulling a major political pivot—stepping down from his 20-year House seat to run for the open State Senate seat vacated by legendary Senator Lyman Hoffman. Edgmon, who leads a bipartisan majority, sees this as the right moment to take on a bigger role, despite the monumental challenge of replacing Hoffman. His campaign will cover vast, remote territory from the Aleutian Chain to the Kuskokwim Delta, with skyrocketing fuel costs adding pressure. Encouraged by Hoffman himself, Edgmon is racing against other candidates to file by the deadline, while his vacated House seat becomes a new battleground. This shake-up could reshape legislative leadership next year, as veteran lawmakers exit and new voices emerge. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
