Rebecca Braun of Juneau moved to Alaska about 30 years ago initially to work for the forestry service. She then taught math and science at Juneau-Douglas High School before randomly applying for a journalist position with The Alaska Budget Report. The Alaska Budget Report, which no longer exists, was a nonpartisan publication that covered state government in depth. In 2005 she purchased that publication and became the editor-in-chief; she did deep dives into the VECO bribery scandal as well as Sarah Palin’s time as governor. After selling The Alaska Budget Report, she served as a Senior Policy Advisor for Governor Bill Walker. Today she is a Senior Policy Strategist with the Alaska Venture Fund, which is a philanthropic organization seeking a more sustainable future for our state. We discuss the sudden death of her husband in a tragic acccident when their children were young, and her diagnosis with advanced breast cancer and melanoma of the retina.
