Nick Begich, Rep. Bruce Westerman

Rep. Bruce Westerman, who is chairman of the House Natural Resources Committee, announced Wednesday his endorsement of Alaska’s Nick Begich for Congress.

“It is my honor to endorse Nick Begich for Congress. Nick put Alaskans first, and he will fight for Alaska’s right to produce energy, manage their resources and have good paying jobs. Nick knows Alaska has what America needs. He will be a tireless advocate for all Alaskans and I look forward to serving with Nick in the next Congress,” Westerman said.

Rep. Mary Peltola, Alaska’s Democrat currently serving in Congress, serves on Westerman’s committee, but has not been effective for Alaska. After Tuesday’s announcement from the Biden-Harris Administration of another 28 million acres of land being locked up in Alaska, Peltola said nothing either for or against the move, which kills the Ambler Road, oil and gas in the Arctic and Beaufort Seas, and other natural resource uses. If she opposed it, she was unable to stop the lock up.

Westerman’s endorsement joins those of House Speaker Mike Johnson, Rep. Byron Donalds, Rep. Elise Stefanik, Rep. Tom Emmer, and Rep. Scott Perry, in addition to Sen. Mike Lee of Utah and the Alaska Republican Party’s chair.

Westerman is a native of Hot Springs, Ark., now serving his fifth term in Congress.

    The cia has been rigging elections in other countries for several election cycles.
    It’s a globalist agenda that is reaching a dangerous point in history.
    Jerome Corsi on “conservative daily” August 26th 2024 goes into some detail on the subject.
    Rank choice voting just offers more layers to hide fraud.

    • That is why we need too get rid of the tabulators (machines) and any other electronic device used at the polling places! We need paper ballots, hand counting the results done by the PEOPLE and not the state, one day voting, no mail-in or absentee ballots with strict exceptions. The machines gotta go!

    • Odd thow someone who is supposedly not in favor with the”establishment ” ,keeps rocking up their endorsements

      • Right.
        Every establishment organization is giving him their endorsement.
        Why?
        The biggest anti-establishment politician since Teddy Roosevelt, Donald Trump – said, “naw” – he’s a plant.

    • Rwhy, so began go to Kodiak to shoot another bear for an ad?? I thought he’s some uber-successful entrepreneur., or so his followers describe him. His family gets plenty of our ltax money he should get some from them!!
