MoveOn is proud to endorse Bill Hill for Alaska’s At-Large Congressional District!
Leadership and Experience
A Dena’ina Athabascan and lifelong Alaskan, Bill Hill brings a deep understanding of working-class life to his run for Congress. Raised in the small village of Kokhanok on Iliamna Lake, Bill spent his youth subsistence hunting, fishing, and working on his family’s drift boat starting at age 12. He has commercially fished every season since, worked as a union construction member, and operated a small business—giving him firsthand experience with the economic challenges working Alaskans face.
Bill dedicated over 25 years to public education as a teacher, principal, and superintendent, earning recognition as Alaska’s Superintendent of the Year in 2023. As a labor advocate and lifelong educator, Bill is ready to head to Washington to take on corporate interests, fight for lower costs, and ensure everyday Alaskans finally have a voice in Congress.
