The most well-known candidates for Alaska’s only seat in Congress have all completed their official paperwork with the Division of Elections.
Nick Begich was the last of the three major candidates to file for the seat, finishing the application Tuesday at the Division of Elections.
Nancy Dahlstrom filed on May 23, and Rep. Mary Peltola the day before that.
Begich made a humorous social media post about his filing, to clear up the “confusion” about whether he or his son, Nick IV, was the candidate. The photo included the two Nicks playing “rock, paper, scissors,” while Dharna Begich holds the official filing paperwork. Begich has been running since last June, when he filed with the Federal Elections Commission. This filing ensures he gets on the state’s primary ballot.
Dahlstrom also did a social media post last week when she completed her paperwork. She had officially filed with the Federal Elections Commission in November.
Rep. Peltola apparently didn’t file in person, but said her team took in her paperwork for her. Her social media post shows a photo of Dahlstrom on the wall of the Division of Elections, which Dahlstrom oversees as lieutenant governor.
Other candidates have filed with the Division of Elections for the seat, including someone from Iowa, another from Arizona, one from Chicago, a South Dakotan, and some Alaskans, including Gerald Heikes, John Wayne Howe, and Lady Donna Dutchess.
The filing deadline is June 1.
