Quote from the Constitutional Convention:

"...We are not voting for a senator to represent our own district; we are voting for a senator who is going to do the best possible job for the State of Alaska; and I hope that we won't lose sight of that here. This Convention has been completely free of divisions according to traditional division lines, and I venture that it is the first gathering that was ever held in Alaska that was free of those divisions."

-Delegate Edward V. Davis, Day 67 of the Constitutional Convention, addressing the pardoning power of the governor
