Gov. Mike Dunleavy is ready for his close-up.<\/p>\n
The new governor will likely deliver his State of the State address at 7 p.m. Jan. 22, it was announced on the Alaska Senate floor Wednesday. The House of Representatives has to make a formal request as well, House Majority Press Secretary Mike Mason said Wednesday. With the House in disarray without a majority at the moment, that request has not come yet.<\/p>\n
Mason said the 7 p.m. Jan. 22 time and date will likely stand, though, as these formal requests are more of a formality than anything else.<\/p>\n
Dunleavy’s address will take place at the Alaska Capitol, and will be in front of a joint session of the House and Senate.<\/p>\n
