Alaska Gov. Mike Dunleavy announced the appointment of Jerry Moses as the director of the State of Alaska’s Washington DC Office. In this role, Moses is responsible for representing Alaska’s interests by working closely with federal agencies and members of Congress.
The position of DC director has been vacant for months. Former Alaska Attorney General Gregg Renkes left in March. Before that, the role was held by Kip Knudson, who retired last year. The governor has been recruiting and interviewing for the new director.
“It is a pleasure to welcome Jerry Moses to this administration. I know that Jerry’s knowledge and experience will prove to be an invaluable asset for Alaska in our nation’s capital,” Dunleavy said.
Moses brings to the role 15 years of working in Washington DC. Prior to joining the Dunleavy Administration, he served as the vice president of Intergovernmental Affairs for the Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium. Moses also held the position of senior counsel to the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs, where he worked on critical issues affecting Native American communities.
Born at Mt. Edgecumbe, Sitka, and raised in Fairbanks, Moses has deep roots in Alaska. He is a graduate of the University of Alaska Fairbanks, where he earned his undergraduate degree. Moses earned a law degree from the University of Arizona James E. Rogers College of Law, and a Master of Public Health degree from the Harvard University TH Chang School of Public Health. He started his new job this week.
