Neal Foster has been appointed to a state House seat to replace his late father, Rep. Richard Foster, who died last month. Gov. Sean Parnell made the announcement in Nome on Tuesday.
Neal Foster, a Democrat, will serve District 39, an area that stretches from Hooper Bay to Nome.
The 37-year-old Foster is the owner of Foster Properties in Nome and is a current member of the Nome City Council.
He must be confirmed by a simple majority of House Democrats.
The Alaska Democratic Party sent three names to Parnell as possible replacements for Richard Foster. The other two were Ralph "Weaver" Ivanoff of Unalakleet, a commercial fisherman and tribal administrator, and Sam Towarak of Unalakleet, an educator in Northwest Alaska.
