Republicans in House District 8, the Nikiski area of the Kenai Peninsula, have voted unanimously to endorse Nick Begich for Congress.
It’s the third Republican Party district group to do so in just a few weeks. Also endorsing Begich are six of the seven Republican women’s clubs in Alaska, which provide a lot of help to the candidates they support. Alaska Young Republicans, known as the YRs, also endorsed Begich. District 26 and 34 were the first two district subdivisions of the Alaska Republican Party, to announce their endorsements.
Altogether, that makes 10 districts and clubs that have endorsed Begich, who is the only Republican who is endorsed by any Republican group or district in Alaska.
Begich also has the endorsement from the U.S. House Freedom Caucus, Sen. Mike Lee, Rep. Scott Perry, and Rep. Byron Donalds, who is in Donald Trump’s inner circle. Trump, at the request of the National Republican Congressional Committee and Gov. Mike Dunleavy, endorsed Nancy Dahlstrom, creating a split in the party leadership, although the grassroots across the state seems to be “sticking with Nick.”
The Alaska primary is Aug. 20, with early voting starting Aug. 5. That includes absentee in-person, early vote, electronic transmission, and special needs voting. There are 12 candidates on the ballot, with Democrat Rep. Mary Peltola trying to keep her seat for a second term. Sample ballots for each Alaska House district can be found at this link.
They’re not budging: Another leading Republican women’s club endorses Nick Begich for Congress
Awesome!
Rank choice voting needs to be voted out in nov.
NB3 is one tough SOB!! Has our vote.
Go Nick!
Nancy Dullstrom needs to be taken out behind the shed and paddled hard. Can’t find many supporters. She is so terrible. Doesn’t keep her word on anything. Too old. Too outdated.
Why don’t Department of Corrections employees start telling us all about how disastrous she was as Dunleavy’s appointed commissioner? They have a lot of say. Why are they being quiet about this? Alaska voters need to know all the details!
It’s coming.
Dahlstrom is such a selfish old b—- She wants it all. She’ll end with nothing. No support from Alaskans. Only from Dunleavy.
If Republicans don’t get their act together, this will end up as another split vote with Peltola taking the job.
If you want to make a difference then VOTE for 1 in the primary on Aug 20th. RCV is for the general election. We’ve all chosen Nick Begich. This will send a very clear message to DC.
We are only allowed to vote for one candidate in the Aug primary; it is unnecessary to tell us to do so. Perhaps you meant to say, “vote for Nick Begich in the August primary.” It’s what we need to do.
Just like last time.
All of the alleged hardcore conservatives, who’ve voted for Murkowski EVERY time, didn’t rank the RED when voting for the two time 3rd place loser, NB3, and THEY gave the election to Peltola.
C’mon RINO’s rank the damn Red.
I am all in for Nick Begich! He is exactly the type of intelligent, reasonable, fair-minded, successful, and responsible Congressman that we need. Mary Peltola has none of these qualities and needs to pack up and return to Bethel.
My family is voting for Nick.
My family is for Nick. 100%
Stand down Nancy.
Dahlstrom is almost 70 years old. It’s time to retire. Go NB3!!
THK YOU Nick.
You Have My vote
Nick, you need some TV commercials. When we walk for you, we need ALL houses. That’s why the Mayor didn’t get re-elected.
