Episode Details

Alaska Governor Mike Dunleavy just shattered his own record—vetoing 29 bills in one legislative session, more than any Alaskan governor before him in a two-year term. That’s over a quarter of all bills reaching his desk, sparking debate about his relationship with lawmakers amid shifting political dynamics. While his office says each veto is individualized, the surge comes as Democrats and independents now hold more sway. With a few bills still pending—including key ones on insurance and car accidents—and six more yet to arrive, Dunleavy’s veto streak isn’t over. Though he’s not the all-time veto king (that’s Jay Hammond with 74), Dunleavy’s 44 vetoes so far mark a dramatic, record-setting end to his tenure.
