  1. Lisa Murkowski was the incumbent representative from the 14th District, and following redistricting and the subsequent 2002 elections, the representative-elect from the 18th District. However, Murkowski did not actually serve as representative from the 18th District due to her appointment to the United States Senate. Dahlstrom, who Murkowski defeated in the 2002 primary election, was appointed to the seat on the first day of the 23rd Alaska State Legislature, following Murkowski's appointment.
