In a witty ad to appear in the print edition the day before Election Day, Congressman Don Young’s campaign has taken a lighthearted touch in response to the Uber-liberal Anchorage Daily News editorial board’s endorsement of him.
“The reality is, Rep. Young isn’t running to be out state’s chief medical officer, anger management counselor or health teacher. He’s running to continue representing Alaska’s interests in Washington, D.C., where his experience, leadership and relationships convey substantial benefits,” the editorial writers wrote.
The newspaper also endorsed U.S. Sen. Dan Sullivan this weekend, and said that Ballot Measure One is bad for Alaska.
One opponent of Ballot Measure One, which would jack around Alaska’s oil taxes again, said she thought she saw pigs flying by her window when she read the newspaper’s decision to oppose the measure.
The newspaper, however came out in support of jacking around the one-person, one-vote election system in Alaska.
