As of Wednesday, 39% of Alaska Republican district committees have pledged their endorsements to Nick Begich for Congress.
No Republican district has endorsed Nancy Dahlstrom, showing Alaska’s Republican grassroots volunteers are saying they are not going to be told what to do by the governor.
The latest to endorse Nick Begich is District 14, a midtown Anchorage district. Nick was at the meeting on Wednesday evening and spoke and took questions for an hour. The district had attempted at least five times to get Dahlstrom to meet with members, participants said, but she ignored their requests.
Also going against the wishes of Gov. Mike Dunleavy are six of the seven Republican women’s clubs and both of the Alaska Young Republicans clubs. Nevertheless, Dahlstrom has D.C. money and is conducting an air bombing ad campaign for her candidacy, with ads running nonstop this week.
Nick Begich will be at the Alaska State Fair this weekend, spending much of his time at the booth of the MatSu Republican Women, who support him, as he reaches out to more Alaskans in his bid to unseat Rep. Mary Peltola, the Democrat.
The primary election ends Tuesday at 8 p.m.
After polls close, the Division of Elections will then count all ballots voted that day, along with all ballots that had been voted early and received and processed by the Division by close of business on Aug. 15.
The early ballots that are voted and submitted over this weekend will not be included in the first count but will be counted and included in subsequent counts. The second release of vote totals won’t come out until seven days after the election, according to the Division of Elections, which means a long wait for all candidates in competitive races.
Dahlstrom is in charge of the elections and also appears on the ballot. She has not committed to dropping from the race after the primary if she comes in second to Begich but says she will meet with the governor after the primary to discuss her future.
It’s telling that the people who know thee candidates the best are supporting Begich universally over Dahlstrom. All the ads in the world aren’t convincing them.
Begich is on a roll to win the primary …….by a landslide. Dahlstrom is about to find out how much she is detested. If she became governor by default, the public would demonstrate how little they care for her. BTW, we aren’t finished with Dahlstrom yet, either.
Correct Shun you hit the nail on the head, Dahlstrom is like a cockroach and will be hard to get rid of; but I feel strongly that she won’t be our next representative or next governor. Patriots must put their collective feet down and get of the swamp rats on both sides of the political hemisphere. Just pray everyone gets off their butts and votes.
Agree with Rae. Republicans also have their swamp rats. Nancy Dahlstrom is one of them.
Nick Begich gets our family’s vote.
NB3.
For the HUGE win. We are working for you, Nick.
Big time!
I just cast my vote for Nick.
Begich 100%
How in Hades is she running in any race that she is supposed to be overseeing?
Exactly! If she has to make some sort of decision about the election, will she pass the responsibility off to someone else since she is a candidate in the election?
Thank you all for supporting my son Nick III. He is the best person to represent the interests of all Alaskans and help the rest of the country see the promise of the Last Frontier….Vote early.

Alaska Registered Voters data –
As of August 3, 2024:
Total registered voters: 605,892
Total Democrats Registered- 73,963
Total Republican Registered- 144,363
Total Undeclared Registered- 272,530
With 39% GOP endorsement – Nick Begich (at best) secured 56,307 votes.
Why should any candidate agree to drop out when the majority of voters in Alaska are registered Undeclared?
That is not even analyzing the geographical districts and those district historic voting trends.
The no brainer here is simple.
The GOP has some internal work to do. Because right now, it’s playing out in the public forum.
In a time of our history when people are demanding unity, the Alaska GOP is not demonstrating any example of unity amongst themselves.
As I said before, I will not vote for Mary myself, but good on her. She will take this election with ease.
So the take away is, figure out how you will work with her. After all, she will be the Congresswoman for All Alaskans, not just a faction.
Pasted from another comment section.
It’s Nancy Dahlstrom’s job, but she’s too busy trying to get Alaska’s congressional seat. Here’s how this year’s Alaska election is supposed to unfold, according to the secret, willfully conduct of Mike Dunleavy:
Trump wants Dunleavy as his Secretary of Interior in order to open up oil and gas lands in Alaska and other states. That would elevate Nancy Dahlstrom to the Governor’s Office. But Dunleavy thinks Nancy is better in Congress, so he gets Trump to campaign for Dahlstrom in the hopes that Dahlstrom can beat Nick Begich in the Primary, then Nick signs out from the General as he promised. Then, Dahlstrom has a fair shot at taking out Mary Peltola with Begich out of the way.
If Trump wins, and Dahlstrom wins,
Dunleavy will first appoint a new Lt. Governor,
much like Bill Walker did when Byron Mallott resigned in 2018. Valerie Davidson, who was Walker’s Commissioner of Health and Social services became Lt. Governor for a few short weeks.
Dunleavy would appoint his little known Alaska Transportation Commissioner Ryan Anderson to the Lt. Governor’s seat. After Dunleavy departs for his new job as Secretary of Interior, Ryan Anderson moves quickly into the Governor’s seat.
That’s the Dunleavy game plan. And that’s the reason Nancy Dahlstrom is still going to hang in there without agreeing to drop out of the Primary. Nancy gets access to Trump, and money, for her campaign, Dunleavy moves to DC, and a virtual nobody named Ryan Anderson, who is Mike Dunleavy’s best friend, becomes governor.
So, who can stop Dunleavy’s scheme?
Nick Begich III, and all of his supporters.
