Joining a crowded field of Republican-leaning candidates for Alaska’s next Governor, former Mayor Dave Bronson announced today his candidacy for the office. In a press release to MRAK, his campaign officially launched this morning in Fairbanks, and announced rollout events in Fairbanks, Mat-Su, Anchorage, and Soldotna. There are now 11 Republican candidates running for Governor of Alaska.
Bronson’s press release touted his status as an Air Force veteran and “proven conservative leader” who pledges to focus on “economic growth, infrastructure, affordable housing, stronger schools, and protecting the Permanent Fund Dividend.”
Planned events are as follows:
Anchorage Press Conference
- When: Friday, October 3, 2025 at 10:00 a.m.
- Where: Sullivan Arena Gold Room, 1600 Gambell St., Anchorage, AK
Soldotna (Kenai) Meet & Greet
- When: Friday, October 3, 2025 at 5:30 p.m.
- Where: Kenai River Lodge, 393 Riverside Dr., Soldotna, AK
In the release, Bronson stated, “Alaska has incredible promise, but too many families are being priced out of the American Dream, too many young people are leaving, and too many opportunities are slipping away,” said Bronson. “I’m running for Governor to fight for Alaska’s future, unlock our resources, and make sure this is a place where our kids and grandkids can thrive.”
