For the good of Alaska, Nancy Dahlstrom should drop her bid for Congress, said one commenter on Dahlstrom’s campaign page on Facebook, adding “Alaskans need to stand together.”
After Dahlstrom posted a note on Facebook saying she was going to go forward to the November ballot, 86 people commented. All of those comments advised her, in no uncertain terms, to get out. There was just one commenter who told her to stay in the race, and that comment attracted disagreement and laughter emojis.
While paid political consultants in Washington, D.C. are convincing her to stay in, as they feed from the trough of campaigns, the feedback Dahlstrom is getting from Alaskans is uniform. In a poll in the Must Read Alaska newsletter, respondents overwhelmingly said she should drop: The poll went 95% against her.
After being in the race for nine months, she only has 350 followers on Facebook, but they are not being supportive of her current plan to stay in the race, where Nick Begich came in 23 points behind Rep. Mary Peltola, but where Dahlstrom is 30 points behind.
These are typical of the comments Dahlstrom is getting on her Facebook page, which we expect will be removed from her page soon:
Nancy has burnt her last political capital.
Done
Nancy is handing the seat to Peltola. This is going to be her legacy. Move back to Baltimore, Nancy.
Sadly Nancy is NOT the brightest candle in the chandelier.
Very true! At the Department, we referred to her as the dummy boss who couldn’t beat half the inmates in an IQ test, and had less common sense than the other half.
LOL. Love you poor guys who had to kiss Dahlstrom’s *SS for a time. Must have been horrible.
If she stays in, and if like Palin, she doesn’t campaign, while Nick traveled to something like 220 separate towns and villages…..then we will know, that just like Palin, she only jumped into the race with the intent to help Peltola win (again).
She is content being stupid.
Nancy is the new chairwoman of the Peltola campaign. She is a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
Please, please, please drop out. Don’t be another Sarah Palin who should never had ran in the first place. You only hinder the Alaskans you say you want to help. By not bowing out you are hurting yourself politically.
Dahlstrom is going no where. She is Dem plant. Many of us have known this . Peltola is back in.
Absolutely, Sam. And Dunleavy, this is all on you now. I guess you are also on Team Peltola. You put the rank in rank the red, dude.
I was getting texts from Dahlstrom daily leading up to the election. I responded to the first one saying she needs to drop out. Still the texts kept coming. I deleted and reported as junk. Still they kept coming. She didn’t listen then, she’s not going to listen now. She’s made clear that she wants Peltola. SMH.
Same here. Even a block didn’t work.
Drop out Nancy, you are just splitting the vote in this ridiculous Rank Choice Voting. You must be a democrat acting as a republican. You get your money from Washington. Oh but you are supposed to oversee elections and three precincts didn’t get to bote. The voter roles need to be cleaned up. Why don’t you do the job you’re supposed to do?
Nancy needs to ask herself, why isn’t another Democrat running against Peltola? Because that’s how RCV works. They have Republicans split the vote and the lone Democrat cruises to an easy win, with little to no campaigning.
Some left wing outfit is PAYING Nancy be in this race. Wish I had a million bucks! I’d sue the stTe for allowing the woman in charge of elections participating in an election.
She is positioning for a higher spot in the political arena and doesn’t care about Alaska or its people.
One thing about Trump devotees,they will never quit. All of the vitriol damages the Republican Party. Something will come out of the embers after Trump destroys the Party
She’ll drop when told to by whoever put her up to this farce
Dunleavy.
They didnt waste any time at all kicking Al Gross to the curb to make Peltola the Grand Wizard when Don passed.
When Democrats give orders they mean business.
Dahlstrom isn’t dropping out. It’s crucial that the seat be Republican again. Begich needs to take one for the team and clear the path for Nancy. Drop out now, Nick. It’s the right thing to do …
Its so very, very simple,., Rank the Red 😉
Been there. Done that. Didn’t work. And the definition of insanity is what….. ? Something about doing the same thing expecting a different result. Cheers –
Begich kicked Nancy Dahlstrom’s rear end.
Nancy is the loser. Go whisper in her ear, that her
attitude is that of a seventh grader. Maybe she’ll listen to you.
She’s getting out, DC spent 2 million to try to put her up but she at 19%. She’s just posturing for a bigger deal.
So, if that’s the case, Dahlstrom is a true POS. And never should she hold office in Alaska again. Maybe she’s a good impostor for the Democrats.
It’s your ilk that put us where we are Joe. Nancy MUST drop out and endorse Nick – then she might have a shot at getting elected governor. Nancy D will never beat Mary.
Are you nuts, Nancy has zero chance of winning, if and when she drops out Nick will beat Peltola and quite easily.

At this point, I feel her embarrassment. She’s too dim to realize it will be abated only by going away in a dignified manner….. like giving a good concession speech supporting Begich.
Never surrender NEVER back down Facebook is for fakes everyone knows Facebook is a dinosaur. Your mom told you if you can say something nice & look at you today. Nancy has more way way more. Clowns on the nick boat list dem accomplishments been waiting
Oi oi oi, make some sense please
English please.
Fair is fair. Alaskans deserve choices so don’t bail Nancy. You have tons of supporters despite an obviously biased poll.
Jennifer, read the numbers. They don’t lie.
Dahlstrom is sunk by Begich. You must be a Peltola supporter weighing in here at MRAK.
Good try. Tell Scott Kendall to keep working it.
She is another Nikki Haley…gotta stay in for the $$$$
Hope she wises as up as Nikki eventually did and does the right thing. If not, her name will be mud in this State.
After losing by a substantial margin in the primary and getting spanked hard by fellow Republicans, Nancy will lose by an even larger margin in November. The word is spreading around fast about Dahlstrom. She lacks character, charisma, and commitment, traits that Mr. Begich seems to have going for him.
.
One word, Nancy:
OINK.
Make mine a double.
OINK, oink.
I’ll do like last time I voted. Nick 1 and Petola 2nd. No Nancy and No Sarah
Here, here.
Obviously neither of you understand how ranked choice works or you really think Mary Peltola is good for Alaska.
Because even ranking her at all will put her out front if Nick doesnt take 50% in round one.
That’s garbage thinking, ranking Peltola 2nd, you must be a Democrat.
This is a prime example of how RCV transfers Republican votes to a Democrat.
It simply makes no sense to me that someone will choose a Republican first and then fill in the oval for a Democrat for round two unless you think Peltola is good for Alaska. Please explain.
It’s a strong message to so-called Republicans who try and ruin the election probabilities for a real conservative Republican. Nancy Dahlstrom is a stupid woman. All she has to do is look at what happened to Sarah Palin. Over 10,000 Begich supporters ranked Peltola 2nd, just to get rid of Palin for good. It worked. Like I stated, Nancy Dahlstrom is a stupid woman.
She should have done her job and cleaned up the voter rolls.
Gov Dunleavy step up and advise your lieutenant to do what is best for Alaska. Nancy, why trade a two year D C job for the remainder of Gov Dunleavy’s term and being an incumbent governor running for a four year term or more.
Nancy’s reward will at least be the Governor as Dunleavy is expected to be named next Interior Secretary by the new Republican administration. Even more, the former Governor Dunleavy will be Nancy’s reference for any future office.
Somehow in a roundabout way I’m sure the distant evils that funded RCV and contributes to princesses lavish lifestyle is also dangling said lifestyle in front of the wannabe “ princess “
It is clearly no wonder Dahlstrom who was supposed to clean up the voter registration and eliminate RCV pulled a “Kamala Harris border blunder” to reap the benefits of a train wreck.
If Dahlstrom does the honorable thing and drops out she may have a future in Alaska. If she does not drop out and hands this seat to Peltola, she has ZERO future in Alaska
