Congressional candidate Nick Begich has another Republican district endorsement, bringing it to six districts, six Republican women’s clubs, and the Alaska Young Republicans.
On Monday, District 29 — the Mat-Su Valley — voted to endorse Begich for Congress. The district, like five others did earlier, refused to endorse Nancy Dahlstrom, the other Republican running to replace Rep. Mary Peltola, the Democrat incumbent.
“It’s an honor to be counted among so many respected conservatives and I look forward to working with leaders across the state to help make Alaska a priority for the rest of America,” Begich said. “We have worked hard to present a positive vision for Alaska, reflective of the values of hard-working Alaskans and their families.”
The district made other endorsements, too:
- Jubilee Underwood over Rep. David Eastman for State House District 27
- Elexie Moore over Rep. Jesse Sumer for State House District 28
- Rep. George Rauscher for State House District 29
- Robert Yundt instead of Sen. David Wilson or Stephen Wright for Senate Seat N
- Incumbent Mayor Edna DeVries for mayor of Mat-Su Borough
- Tom Bergey – D1 School Board
- An earlier version of this story incorrectly mentioned an endorsement of Jared Goecker for Senate.
Begich has so far won the endorsements of District 6, 8, 26, 27, and 36. Both Kenai Republican women’s clubs and both Mat-Su Republican women’s clubs endorsed him, as did Capital City Republican Women, and Republican Women of Fairbanks.
He has the endorsement of the House Freedom Caucus, Rep. Byron Donalds of Florida, Rep. Scott Perry of Texas, and Sen. Mike Lee of Utah, among others. Vivek Ramaswamy has also endorsed him.
