Bruce Botelho is the former Attorney General for the state of Alaska under Republican Governor Wally Hickel and under Democratic Governor Tony Knowles. Bruce also served as Mayor of Juneau from 1988-1991 and from 2003-2012. His paternal grandparents first moved to Juneau in 1897, and really since his birth here in 1948, Juneau has been Bruce Botelho's home. 

Today we discuss his start in the Alaska government in Governor Jay Hammond's administration, how he saved Wally Hickel from impeachment and, thus, paved his way to become AG, and finally, how he decided as a former AG to testify in multiple hearings against Governor Mike Dunleavy's nominee to be the next Attorney General Stephen Cox. Stephen Cox was a guest on this podcast on April 30.
