Senator Scott Jiu Wo Kawasaki is currently serving his first term as a member of the Alaska State Senate. He was first elected to the State House in 2006, and at the time was the youngest member serving in the Legislature. He has been a member of the Resources Committee, the Education Committee and the Special Committee on Fisheries. In 2018, he ran against the Senate President and went on to win. He currently serves on the Senate State Affairs and Resources Committees.
Prior to state office, he ran for the Fairbanks City Council and was the youngest candidate ever elected and went on to serve for six years. Senator Kawasaki earned a BS in biomedicine at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. In college, he chartered the first national collegiate fraternity in Alaska, Sigma Phi Epsilon, and was involved in leadership and internship programs statewide.
Senator Kawasaki enjoys fishing, hiking, camping, and all that the Alaska outdoors has to offer in the summer. Scott also enjoys traveling during the coldest parts of the winter.
