Sarah Vance spent her early life in north Texas and Oklahoma before moving to Homer, Alaska, at age 10. She had not paid much attention to politics until a 2017 Homer City Council resolution to make Homer a sanctuary city for immigrants. Sarah helped mobilize against the resolution and led a recall election against the three city councilmembers who had brought forth the resolution. In 2018 she challenged longtime incumbent Paul Seaton for his seat and won. After four years serving in the House minority, she was part of the Republican majority these past two years where she chaired both the House Judiciary and Fisheries Committees.
