Both are surprises as neither was the top choice of their respective governors.
Alaska Gov. Mike Dunleavy had nominated Märit Carlson-Van Dort as his lead pick, with Bowers and Israel Payton as his second and third choices. Carlson-Van Dort chairs the Alaska Board of Fisheries. Bowers is a longtime state employee in the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, currently working as acting commercial fisheries director.
Washington Gov. Bob Ferguson nominated crab fleet representative Jamie Goen for a second term on the council, but the commerce secretary instead appointed Chad See, Ferguson's second choice. See is executive director of the Freezer Longline Coalition.

Well surprise surprise! Marit has led an unethical BoF for years now and has been called out for it. Apparently all powerful KRSA doesn’t have the funding to move her up the line or she’s such a great lackey they’d rather keep her in that seat to continue destroying Comfish unless it’s Chignik of course. Ethics my dear, get some.
Hmmm. I wonder if the wicked witch is sad??? But one thing for sure it makes a lot of people happy.!!!
