Though rumored talks about a lieutenant governor role didn’t materialize, Myers emphasized his desire to be present for his five kids. His exit opens the door for Republican Frank Tomaszewski, who’s running for the Senate seat, and his wife Harmony, who’s stepping into the House — making them the first married couple to run for different state offices in Alaska. Myers, while stepping away for now, hasn’t ruled out a political comeback, saying some politicians return later — but for now, it’s all about family time and leaving the legislature behind.
