It seems like just the other day that Congressman Nick Begich was being sworn into office. But that was Jan. 3. One month later, the U.S. House Democrats’ political action committee is spending lavishly in Alaska’s media market to try to damage the Republican incumbent, who has been in office for five weeks.

But it might just be a waste of money.

According to the nonpartisan Cook Political Report, Congressman Begich’s hard work in Washington, D.C. is paying off. He is one of 12 representatives who is considered a “likely win” for 2026, in the election analyst company’s strongest category.

Cook Political Report says 39 Democrats are in seats that are considered competitive vs. 29 for Republicans for 2026.

Although math is better for Republicans, it must be pointed out that at this time in the election cycle in 2023, Cook Political Report listed the Alaska seat as “Leans Democrat” for reelection in 2024. Congressman Begich flipped that seat to Republican, even though his Democrat opponent incumbent spent more than $13.4 million to retain her seat in Congress, vs. Begich’s $2.8 million campaign account.

  1. NB3 might make a great replacement to Daddy’s Little Princess. Just look at how hard he’s working for the USA, Alaska & Alaskans. Also, brining about … Common Sense, Logic, Reason, Courage, Foresight, Will Power, Integrity, Transperancy; something sorely missing // lacking from our Senor Senator!

  2. Nick is a MUST win for 2026. We don’t need a democrat controlled House. They will spend their time ginning up more impeachment drama. Nick will be a terrific Representative. It will be a ‘no brained’ to those who have one that he must be reelected!
