JUNEAU – David Guttenberg (D – District 38) was sworn in yesterday to serve his sixth term in the Alaska House of Representatives. Speaker Mike Chenault administered the oath of office during the House’s regular floor session.

Representative Guttenberg was unable to participate in the traditional swearing-in ceremony on the first day of the 28^th Legislature’s session last week. He had remained in Fairbanks to care for his wife, Marilyn, who is undergoing medical treatment.

“The outpouring of support for Marilyn and me has been deeply gratifying,” Rep. Guttenberg said. “We’d like to thank all the Alaskans who have offered their assistance, good wishes, thoughts, prayers, and love. We are truly fortunate people.”
