Three applicants for a vacant state House seat from North Pole are all emphasizing their experience in local government.

Doug Isaacson, Mike Prax and Tammie Wilson are vying to replace John Coghill. He was appointed to the Senate following the resignation of Gene Therriault who joined the governor's staff.

The Fairbanks Daily News-Miner reports the Republican party forwarded the three candidates' names to Gov. Sean Parnell who has
until Nov. 27 to pick one. That person would still need the confirmation of House Republicans to serve the final year of Coghill's term.
