Biographical note:
Walter Eugene “Gene” Guess was born in Mississippi. After graduating from the College of William and Mary in 1955, he received a law degree from the University of Virginia in 1959. During this time he served as an officer in the U.S. Army from 1955-1956, and the Army Reserve until 1963. In 1957 he married Carolyn Suber and they moved to Alaska in 1959. Gene Guess was admitted to the Alaska Bar in 1960 and in 1961 he formed the law firm of Ely and Guess with Robert Ely until they were joined by Joseph Rudd. They subsequently changed the name to Ely, Guess, and Rudd. Guess served as president of the firm until his death. He also entered politics in 1963, when he served as the southcentral Alaska campaign chairman for Governor William Egan.
In 1964, he was elected to the first of four successive terms in the state House of Representatives. While in the House, he served as chairman of the House Judiciary Committee (1965-1966), as vice-chairman of the House Commerce Committee (1965-1966), as House minority whip (1967-1968), and as chairman of the House Minority Caucus (1967-1968), and the Alaska State Legislative Council (1969-1971). He also served as the Majority Floor Leader (1969-1970), as chairman of the House Local Government Committee (1969-1970) and of the Special House Committee on Monetary Policy (1969-1970), and as Speaker of the House (1970-1972). He retired from the legislature in 1972 to run for United States Senate. He ran unsuccessfully against Senator Ted Stevens in 1972, and again in 1974 against Senator Mike Gravel.
In addition to his political activities, Gene Guess served as vice-chairman of the Governor’s Advisory Committee on Economic Development (1962-1964), and served as special assistant to the Governor as a liaison to the Anchorage banking community (1964). He was a member of the Greater Anchorage Democratic Club (president, 1963-1964), the Alaska State Chamber of Commerce (1968-1975), the Anchorage Chamber of Commerce (1969-1975), the Alaska Export Expansion Council (1966-1975), and the Alaska Development Council for Alaska Methodist University (1968-1975). He also served on the board of directors for the Anchorage Boys Club, the Alaska and Virginia bar associations, as well as the Federal Bar Association. His honors include being named Outstanding Young Man in America by the U.S. Jaycees (1966), being named one of the 50 outstanding legislators by the Eagleton Institute of Politics (1968), and being selected as one of the 16 top state legislators by the Citizens Conference on State Legislators (1971).
