Congressman Byron Donalds, a Republican conservative from Florida’s 19th congressional district, has endorsed Nick Begich for Congress in the 2024 election.
Begich, a Republican, filed last July for his second run at Congress to represent Alaska. During his first run for Congress, Alaska voters ended up going with Mary Peltola, a Democrat, in the first-ever ranked-choice voting exercise in Alaska history.
Donalds, who is close with former President Donald Trump, was elected to Congress in 2020, after he defeated Democrat Cindy Banyai. He has campaigned for Trump in New Hampshire and is a regular at Trump rallies across the country.
During the January 2023 Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives election, Donalds was nominated and received enough Republican votes through the 11th round of voting to keep Congress in the hands of conservatives.
“Nick Begich is the conservative fighter who can win Alaska in November and flip this seat to put America First. I’m proud to endorse Nick’s campaign and look forward to doing everything I can to help him win,” Donalds said.
Begich responded, “I’m thrilled to have America First Byron Donalds’ endorsement. He is champion for everyday Americans and wants more than anything to ensure this nation is prosperous, free, and prioritizes the people of our nation. These are values we share and I look forward to working with him on Alaska’s priorities.”
