Rob Yundt, a Republican who serves on the Mat-Su Borough Assembly, has filed for Senate Seat N, which is now occupied by Sen. David Wilson. The Wasilla seat will be on the August primary ballot and the November general election ballot.
A third-generation Alaskan and a homebuilder, Yundt has been active in state politics for several years. He served on the board of directors for Alaska Housing Finance Corporation and was the past president Alaska State Homebuilders. Among the policy achievements he is most proud of are:
- – Sponsored lifetime term limit legislation for mayor.
- – Lowered mill rate every year since being elected. It’s now the lowest in over 30 years.
- – Sponsored legislation to increase the senior citizen and disabled veteran property tax exemptions from 218,000 to 264,000 per year and tied it to inflation so it will adjust annually.
- – Helped repeal a previously adopted anti Second Amendment gun range ordinance, then sponsored legislation to change borough code and require any future Assembly ordinance pertaining to guns to require voter approval.
- – Worked to bring the 2024 Arctic Winter Games to the Mat-Su Valley.
- – Critical 4th vote to donate land to a local non profit youth shooting organization to be a world-class shooting range for Mat-Su Borough students.
- – Created a new two-year fire science program for juniors and seniors so they can earn certifications that are nationally recognized.
- – The borough paid off over $60 million in debt during his three years and he has not approved any borrowing.
- – Sponsored multiple community wide clean-up events.
- – Fought for trades-based training and opportunities for our high school students so they graduate ready for the workforce.

The incumbent, Sen. David Wilson, is also a Republican, but has joined the Democrat-dominated Senate majority, which has opened him up to some criticism in this deeply conservative area of Alaska.
He would be awesome for the job And he has my vote! I hope all goes well. He will do good for people of the State of Alaska. we need people at the state level at know how to balance a checkbook. I would also like to see him incorporate term limits at the state level.
I wonder how many uninformed voters will claim this will split the ticket?
In my opinion representative David Wilson is a complete and total sell out The majority caucus he joined is at best political games played by a RINO David Wilson lied right to my face with a smile I watched as he walked out on public testimony from his own constituents so some one who cares about Alaska and her economy is a welcome box to check I will gladly donate money to Rob’s campaign.
A better choice
Godspeed.
Well. I have heard good and bad about Rob. But, what little I know about him, he was earnestly very nice and works hard. I’d vote for him over rino wilson any day!
Yes! Wilson is an absolute RINO! Looking forward to seeing Rob out there campaigning!
Good job Rob. Thanks for sacrificing yourself for this torturous job.
Better choice by a large margin. Wilson is a sell out, weak, feckless, and useless piece of political garbage.
He NEVER listens to the people he supposedly represents.
Good riddance.
This is great news for Wasilla and the State!
An individual who delivers!
We need to Clone 50 more Bob Yundts and fill the Legislature. Wilson is a Back Stabber, he also smiled as he Lied to me..
I just wonder if he has anymore trustworthy, hardworking friends that could throw their name in the hat to replace Sumner in the Senate; and McCabe and Cathy Tilton in the House? We’d be better off without traitors like Wilson, Sumner, McCabe and Tilton.
Rob definitely has my vote. Rino wilson is a self serving, smile in your face liar. I have been disgusted with him since his first term with all the sexual allegations against him that JUST WENT AWAY. POOF. Who is he beholding to? The party censored him for joining the democraps, so he will not have party support supposedly.
