Carol Hafner has never been to Alaska, but she could make history as the state’s first female congresswoman

Carol Hafner’s longshot bid for Congress has the potential to make her Alaska’s first female U.S. Representative in history.

There’s one catch: Hafner doesn’t live in the state. In fact, she’s never even visited

The 64-year-old Democrat said she wanted to run for office to address major issues facing the country, including climate change, the “precarious” state of women’s rights and economic inequality. She decided to seek the seat in Alaska after realizing incumbent Rep. Don Young, a Republican who has called climate change a “scam,” had been in office for decades.
