Sen. Natasha von Imhof said on Twitter Tuesday that she will not run for her Senate seat, nor any other political office in 2022. She will complete her term as senator for Southwest Anchorage, formerly known as Senate Seat L. Redistricting had pushed von Imhof and Sen. Mia Costello into the same district; both are Republicans, and a race between them would have been difficult.
On Twitter, von Imhof wrote, “Due to family circumstances, I will not be seeking reelection or participating in the ’22 election. I will serve out my term and then step away from politics to focus on my family. Thank you to my constituents and supporters for allowing me to serve our great state.”
Von Imhof has been rumored to be interested in running for governor, but with the recent passing of her father, Ed Rasmuson, she may now be planning to take a greater role in the family foundation, the Rasmuson Foundation.
