In a race where conservative credentials are everything, former Rep. Lynn Gattis has won the endorsement of the Alaska Family Action group, the political arm of conservative Alaska Family Council.
Gattis had already won the endorsement of the Alaska Republican Party and the district GOP leadership, but then Republican Chris Kurka brought in endorsements from Pat Martin and Joe Miller.
Gattis is the former representative for District 7, which has been represented by Colleen Sullivan-Leonard for the past four years.
Sullivan-Leonard has also endorsed Gattis, who is a close ally of Gov. Mike Dunleavy. She and Dunleavy have worked on pro-life issues together and served on the Mat-Su School Board together.
