Nick Begich, the Republican running for Congress, was the only candidate for that office who was present in the Golden Days Parade — the largest parade in Alaska that takes place in Fairbanks each July. Rep. Mary Peltola had a group walking for her but did not show up; neither did Nancy Dahlstrom.
Other candidates who had entries includes a large group with Republican state Rep. Frank Tomaszewski, who is running for reelection for District 34.
A curious combination of candidates were using a Fairbanks fire truck as their support vehicle in the parade. The candidates, all liberals, and the truck made it appear as though the Democrats have the official endorsement of the fire department, when it is actually a truck owned by the fire department union. Pictured with the truck were signs for Democrat Grier Hopkins for mayor, Democrat Rep. Maxine Dibert for House and false-flag Republican Beth Cottle for House District 34.
Also in the parade with his family was Republican Rep. Will Stapp, whose kids wore shirts that said “Vote for my Dad.” Stapp’s shirt said: “Vote for me, I’ve got cute kids.” His wife’s shirt said “Vote for my husband.”
Mike Cronk of Tok, who is a state representative running for Senate to replace retiring Sen. Click Bishop, attended in Carhartt coveralls and a float that had the skins of animals he’s harvested over the years.
“I didn’t ‘study’ subsistence, I live subsistence every day!” Cronk said.
Savannah Fletcher, a Democrat who was running for mayor but then dropped out of that race to run for Senate Seat R, was not spotted at Golden Days, but was seen at the Deltana Fair in Delta Junction, where she will be in the parade on Sunday.
Democrat Sen. Scott Kawasaki did not have an entry in the parade but his Republican challenger Leslie Hajdukovich did, with about 20 people and a couple of vehicles with her under the hot Fairbanks sun.
Begich has my vote – that man works!
I’m proud to vote for Nick🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
It always bugs me when I see a guy running for office show up for a political event wearing brand new (not at all broken in) Carharrts. Dan Sullivan did this. And now Mike Cronk. Both of these guys could have at least run these clothes through the washing machine and dryer a few times before they decide wear them in public in order to ask for Alaskans’ votes.
Very stupid post. You must be a Democrat.
I wasn’t in Fairbanks in 2020. In 2014, Dan Sullivan was nowhere to be found. Hugh and Mary Jane Fate campaigned for him locally.
That is a democrat that goes to Wal-Mart in PJs or flys in sweats. Maybe you would like some trans and flash themselves to kids.
Dahlstrom is dull and lazy. Ak needs a hard worker in DC. That’s not Peltola or Dahlstrom.
Vote Nick!
That fire truck belongs to Ester Volunteer. The only fire department that allows only Democrats to join. BTW, Hopkins won’t get a free ride. John Coghill and Aaron Lowjewski have already agreed that whoever of the two of them has the best standing ……the other drops out to send Hopkins back to diapers. And then, Luke won’t need to babysit anymore.
We already know you’re a one-trick pony vis-a-vis your repetitive screeds, but still, a little fact-checking is in order. That fire engine belongs to the IAFF Local 1324, who represents the employees of the Fairbanks and University fire departments. I assume Ester is still a volunteer fire department and the service area lacks the tax base to hire professionals, let alone maintain an old fire engine as a showpiece in parades.
NP Pat–The fire truck is from the UAF Fire Department, not Ester Volunteer Fire Department. The EVFD allows all kinds of people to join regardless of their political persuasion.
Got it. All you had to say was University and Union in the same sentence. That’s who backs Luke’s child. The rest of us in FNSB call BS to you. We remember how miserable Luke himself was while mayor. Now his little boy too? Both a couple of effing idiots.
John Coghill, or Aaron Lowjewski. Either one will do to get these Hopkins out of the way.
If you know Cronk then you know he’s the real deal and just because he lives a subsistence lifestyle doesn’t mean he has to dress like a slob. Go Nick you got my families support!!
