Longtime Haines resident and local politician Schnabel seeks re-election

Debra Schnabel has lived in Haines since she was 11 days old.

She left for a period of time to go to college and then to pursue a career in broadcasting – but she got caught up in the family business. Her father, John Schnabel, was involved in timber, and mining, and a lot of industry in Haines.

“I mean, when I was 12 years old, I was doing payroll. I was very helpful for a lot of the tedious work involved in timber, selling logs, loading log ships, doing all of the paperwork, etc,” she said.

She worked to get a public radio station built in Haines. Then she left for a few years and toured Alaska working for the Alaska Public Radio Network and helping communities like Chevak, Galena and Sand Point with community development.
