Six out of the seven Republican women’s clubs in Alaska have endorsed Republican Nick Begich for Congress. The latest club to do so is Capital City Republican Women, which announced the endorsement on Wednesday.
Capital City Republican Women was organized in Juneau in Territorial Days to promote an informed electorate and support the election of Republican candidates to political office.
“Over the past three years, Alaska Congressional candidate Nick Begich has visited Juneau several times and become acquainted with many of our members. We have found Nick to be highly intelligent, thoughtful and well-spoken,” the group wrote in a statement.
“He is hard-working and energetic and is unafraid to answer hard questions and stand firm on conservative principles. Nick’s campaign website speaks to the breadth – and depth – of his knowledge of the issues facing Alaska and America. It is clear that he possesses an extraordinary grasp of both current and emerging topics of critical importance to our state and country.
Nick has also demonstrated considerable depth of character by promising he will withdraw from the process if he is not the top-scoring Republican in the August 20, 2024, Primary Election,” the club wrote.
Nancy Dahlstrom has not made the same commitment to drop from the race if she comes in behind another Republican. She joined the race in November, six months after Begich filed. Dahlstrom has support from some Washington, D.C. Republicans, such as the National Republican Congressional Committee, while Begich has support from the Freedom Caucus. Dahlstrom has the endorsement of Donald Trump, while Begich has the endorsement of Vivek Ramaswamy and Byron Donalds.
Dahlstrom hasn’t been able to attain an endorsement from any of the Republican women’s clubs, even though she has Gov. Mike Dunleavy’s support. Some Republicans are concerned she is too old to start a congressional career, which is hinted at in the Capital City Republican Women’s statement:
“CCRW believes that Nick Begich represents the finest of the next generation of Alaska leaders and has the greatest potential to serve Alaska in the United States Congress well into the future. CCRW is proud to endorse Nick Begich for Alaska’s sole seat in the United States House of Representatives,” the Juneau women wrote.
The problem is that Trump promises retribution once elected and will “officially act” to replace any elected officials he doesn’t approve of. That would be Nick Begich for Alaska. Hopefully wouldn’t involve SEAL Team Six!
Obama was the only president to actually use military force on Americans.
Not true
You’re a pup. Not old enough to remember Kent.
Also since you must not have completed the 6th grade, Lincoln authorized American killings.
Right? I heard that Trump is going to put people in jail for years, without trial, for standing on the white house lawn with a sign. I also heard that he is going to send the FBI out out to do midnight raids on moms who offer opposing views at school board meetings. Also, he will probably jail grandmas for years for praying outside clinics.
Yeah, all that. The president enjoys immunity.
Puddin’ head is doing what MJohn describes.
Sebastian,
Whomever wins the Alphabet Agencies need to be curtailed , brought to heel or disassembled. Much of what the Feds are up to is repugnant to our Constitution.
I am shocked Nancy would not put Alaska first and commit to supporting who ever won the most votes as a Republican. This appears to be common among aging Politicians, put themselves first before State or Country.
What baffles me is why Nancy made the choice in the first place to run. All she had to do was wait out Mike and run for Governor. Nancy would easily garnered support from all the Republicans. As it is by her own actions and choices, Nancy is Political Toast in Alaska. Nobody will forget what she is doing as nobody will forget Palin. Sad ending for someone I like.
Very well said, Joe!
Age is not the relevant factor Skippy. It’s integrity… or lack thereof.
Nancy can’t. She’s now owned by the DC money that talked her into running…she will do what they tell her to do; Alaska is a second or third tier priority..
Maybe she is. maybe Nick should drop out.
Nick Begich has been so active all over southeast for years. Capital City said it well. All due respect but he is the best choice for Alaska.
If you support Project 2025, vote for Begich. If you support the State Constitution vote for Mary Petola. It is that simple
Ha,ha,ha! You’re insane.
How will she defend the constitution? She can barely show up to do her job.
If you support free-market patriotism and rational leadership, vote for Begich. If you support communist totalitarianism and foolish leadership, vote for Peltola. It’s that simple.
Like
I support Project 2025 and I will vote for Begich.
Project 25 is a 2 tier tax system. Middle class pays more with it. Is that what you want? Do your homework people. Jeez!
All due respect, Nick comes from a staunch democrat family, him being a republican is a joke, he’s a sleeper. He’s in the race to help the dems or, if he gets in he’ll be voting with the dems. This is why it’s so important to get rid of rank choice voting so we weed out the imposters.
Slim, where is the kool-aid stand?
He may be onto something.
Slim, that’s a lie. He was raised by his conservative grandparents. He grew up far away from the Begich family. This is well known.
This is the result of shallow thinking.
Slim, you need to fatten up yer haid with mo knowledge which come from learning.
Nick’s gramps was was right of Donald J Trump, Nick III is alot like his Gramps.
Sorry to blowed up yer confounded conspiracy theory!
Frankie and I are both supporting Nick. Dahlstrom is just an old person now, like Frankie and myself. It’s time for old people to step aside and let the next generation start their careers. I’m
going to organize the Republican Women of Wrangell to officially endorse Nick Begich for Congress. Maybe I can finally have peace with Alaska Republican women now. Lisa, who supports Democrat Mary Peltola, has disappointed Alaskans on so many levels that we can no longer keep quiet. Go NB3!!!
I’ve got my donations ready for Nick too, Nancy. To hell with Lisa’s inheritance. Let’s do what’s right for Alaska. (my original words).
Yep, Frankie. Very original. Just like appointing Lisa. That one took the cake, and you ate it too.
Until Americans realize what country they live in they will not do what’s best for them and the country.
Everybody wants in and they all want to change how this country lives.
Seams counterintuitive to me.
Kind of sounds like the original colonists.
Regardless of whether you prefer Dahlstrom or Begich, the only way to defeat Peltola and bring Alaska back to the right side of the aisle in Congress, we have to RANK THE RED!
The Jungle Primary allows for ONE choice, with the top 4 vote getters, of all flavors, making it onto the General election ballot. Nick has stated on several occasions, publicly, that if he is not the top Republican vote getter, he will bow out, so as to not split the vote in the General election, when we must use RANK (multiple choice) voting. He is the only candidate for US Congress which has made this pledge. We must VOTE in the PRIMARY on or before August 20th, and urge our friends, family, and neighbors to do the same.
Yeah, because he is a 2 time looser. He has his doubts.
Sorry, but only way to beat the current congresswoman is to rank the red!
He says it now, but didn’t when the chips were down last time. Why should we believe a word out of his mouth??
No you don’t have to rank anyone on the ticket. Just put one name at the top and ,move on to the next office to be voted on or the next official bill. No voter has to rank anyone and you never did. Just vote for one person and that is it.
Sorry, but only way to beat the current congresswoman is to rank the red!
I remember media organizations like ADN and Politico writing glowing pieces about NBIII. Not just a talented politician but just a great person too. When dedicated left wing activist media falls in love with someone, you know they are right for Alaska.
Show a single time ADN wrote a positive article about Begich. Just post it here. We’ll wait.

You are welcome and apology accepted. Performing simple web searches for the incapable is a hobby of mine.
ADN just loves how diverse and globally minded the WEF Manchurian candidate is. You see, he’s a ‘reponsible’ Republican – the kind that are willing to sell us out once elected. Kind of like our female senior Senator.
Oh, and as a bonus ADN also solicited this gem because everyone needed to know what Palin’s former in-law’s think right after a messy divorce.

I don’t question his character
I don’t personally know the man
Nick, since you and Trump are cross, can you tell us your thoughts on Trumps recent flipping on issues like cutting social security, tariffs on imports, abortion, TikTok, among others?
It is inspiring to see all these Republican women’s groups making thoughtful and reasoned decisions rather than kowtowing to a misguided party line. Thoughtfulness and moral principals are hallmarks of Republicans which make them hard to herd like Democrats. However, their virtues are what make Republicans better Americans than Democrats.
Wow! Did you just publicly say that?
Won’t matter unless these clubs get off the dime and turn out the vote for Nick. Cheers –
Dahlstrom is a Trojan Horse. Vote Begich.
