District 29 Republicans, deep in the red heart of the Kenai Peninsula, have endorsed Kelly Tshibaka for U.S. Senate. Tshibaka is challenging Sen. Lisa Murkowski for the seat that has been held by the Murkowskis for over 40 years. The bonus vote on the District 29 committee, Barb Blakeley, announced the endorsement at the Kenai Peninsula Republican Women’s Club meeting on Thursday.
This makes 10 Republican groups that have endorsed Tshibaka so far: District 21, 12, 14, 15, and 29, both Kenai Republican women’s clubs, both Mat-Su Valley Republican women’s clubs, and the Anchorage Republican Women’s Club. Also, Bikers for Trump, and former President Donald Trump himself.
District 29 is another conservative part of the state, centered in the Nikiski, Sterling, and Seward.
Tshibaka was recently spotted in Kodiak, after a trip to Utqiagvik last week.
