Alaska Republican candidate for Congress Nick Begich has received the unanimous endorsement of the Anchorage Young Republicans and the Mat-Su Young Republicans.
Zach Young, president of the Anchorage Young Republicans said, “For this race, we saw it as a no-brainer: it’s gotta be Nick. Republicans have to unify to win — and they’re unifying behind Nick. It’s clear he’s our only shot at having a representative in DC who isn’t in lockstep with Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi.”
Ryan McKee, president of the Mat-Su Young Republicans, said, “Our membership doesn’t always agree on everything, but we agreed on this unanimously: Nick Begich is the ONLY candidate who is ready to defeat Mary Peltola. We were proud to support Nick in his previous run, and we’re excited to get behind him this time too — all the way!”
McKee continued, “Some might say it’s unusual to endorse this early in the campaign cycle — but they should tell that to Mary Peltola. She endorsed Joe Biden on day one!”
Begich is a third-generation Alaskan and the grandson of former U.S. Representative from Alaska Nick Begich, Sr. He is running for Congress to represent Alaska’s at-large congressional district.
“I am honored to receive the endorsement of the Anchorage and Mat-Su Young Republicans,” said Begich. “These young Republicans are the future of our state, and I am grateful for their support. I will work hard to earn the votes of all Alaskans in this election.”
The endorsement of the Anchorage and Mat-Su Young Republicans is a significant boost for Begich’s campaign; with the endorsement of these clubs, Begich has won the support of all of the Young Republican clubs in the state, representing thousands of young registered Republicans in Alaska.
