Stephanie Madsen broke through very substantial barriers for women in the world of Alaska commercial fisheries politics. I have been a fan and a foe over the years based on her policy positions, but never doubted once that she was every bit the equal to the old boy's network, and Stephanie should and will be remembered as the pioneer she was. Bravo, Stephanie.

She will be remembered. For helping the drag fleet destroy so many fisheries. Good riddance.
