Byron I. Mallott (born April 6, 1943) is an American politician and business executive from the state of Alaska. Mallott is an Alaska Native leader of Tlingit heritage. He is the 12th and current Lieutenant Governor of Alaska and previously served as the Mayor of Yakutat, the Mayor of Juneau, the President of the Alaska Federation of Natives and the executive director of the Alaska Permanent Fund. Mallott was the Democratic nominee for Governor of Alaska in 2014,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Alaska - Summary Vote Results )〕 until he agreed to merge his campaign with that of Independent candidate Bill Walker and become Walker's running mate. Walker and Mallott won the election and were sworn-in in December 2014. ==Early life and political career== Byron I. Mallott was born on April 6, 1943 in Yakutat, Alaska to J. B. and Emma Mallott. His father established a general store in a spare room of the family home in 1946. Byron spent most of his childhood living in Yakutat. He graduated from Sheldon Jackson High School and studied for several years at Western Washington State College. His political career began unexpectedly in 1965. His father, who served as Yakutat's mayor for the vast majority of the position's existence (Yakutat incorporated as a city in 1948), died. He left college and returned to Yakutat, running to replace him, and won election.〔 He was 22 years old at the time. He left office before the expiration of his term, taking a job in the office of Governor Bill Egan towards the end of Egan's first governorship. His job in the governor's office was focused on local government affairs, one of the few constitutionally mandated executive functions in Alaska.〔 After Egan was defeated for re-election by Walter Hickel in 1966, Mallott returned to Yakutat and served on the city council. He also served as a special assistant to U.S. Senator Mike Gravel during the early part of Gravel's first term. After Egan was elected back to the governorship in 1970, Mallott went back to work in his office in 1971, where he was in charge of local affairs. This office was absorbed into the Alaska Department of Community and Regional Affairs when the legislature created the department the following year. Mallott became the department's first commissioner, serving until 1974. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Byron Mallott」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
