It’s becoming a daily occurrence as the end of the Alaska primary election approaches: In the Mat-Su Valley, Republicans in District 25 voted to endorse Nick Begich for Congress.

That makes the 8th Republican Party district committee to state their preference for Begich, even though there are three other Republicans running to unseat Democrat Rep. Mary Peltola.

District 25 is in the Palmer area, is represented in the Alaska State House by Republican Rep. DeLena Johnson. She was endorsed as well, along with House Speaker Cathy Tilton, who serves in the House for District 26. Tom Bergey was endorsed for School Board and Mayor Edna DeVries was endorsed for another term as mayor of the Matanuska-Susitna Borough.

District 25 joins these districts in endorsing Nick Begich: 6, 8, 23, 26, 29, 34, and 36.

This endorsement pushes the percentage of organized Republican districts in the state to over 22% for Nick Begich, who is making his second try for Congress.

No other Republican has received an endorsement from a district or women’s club. Begich has received endorsements from six of the seven Republican women’s clubs and both of the Alaska Young Republicans chapters.

He is the only candidate who has signed the petition to repeal ranked choice voting and the only candidate who has said he will drop from the race if he is not the leading Republican candidate after the primary.

Voting is already underway in the primary with early voting and absentee early voting, with Election Day on Aug 20, when the polls close at 8 p.m.

  1. ATTENTION: all patriotic, conservative Alaskans who believe in proper principals faithful to the core values of our American constitution and those traditional to the Republican party. Leftists have contrived ranked choice voting in Alaska to better serve their reprehensible socialist and nihilistic agenda. Their followers are disciplined, much like lemmings, to take marching orders from their party elites. Grass roots Republicans, on the other hand, think more independently in keeping with traditional core Republican principals. Consequently, ranked choice voting has made it more difficult for elitist establishment Republicans to herd on the Republican rank and file voters like Dems do. However, the good news is, it looks like the rank and file is coalescing behind Nick Begich III in spite of the elitist operatives’ attempts to foist their chosen figurehead upon us. Good on all of you for sticking to your conservative American values. Let us take Nick across the finish line so we can take back the Alaska Republican Party and make it what it once was–a great thing. May God bless you, and Alaska, and America.

  3. One would imagine in a rigged rank voting system the way out is to out smart dem rinos? vote for the opposite of what the fakes boast for, vote for Nancy Dahlstrom never surrender the high ground. MAGA is at hand PRESIDENT TRUMP opened anwar boss wants Nancy

    • “The Boss”, as you call him, has an unbelievable amount on his plate. He doesn’t really know all the details of what is at play here in Alaska. And I can almost guarantee he doesn’t really “know” Nancy D. Trump likes Dunleavy and Dunleavy is very loyally supporting his Lte. Gov. Nancy Dahlstrom. That’s understandable–he can’t say anything different. While I like Nancy, my heart is sad because I think she could have a great political future except for this one decision. As one person commented before, she might be committing political suicide. In the last election, Nick B. was first in line and he has done that again. How anyone can interpret HIM as the spoiler, I can’t understand. He is graciously refusing to do negative campaigning which I think is pretty impressive. I have spent time grilling him on issues and he unbelievably sharp and well informed. The National Republican Party is pouring millions into TV ads for Nancy–even I supported her, I would be tired of them. They will show 2 or 3 of them over and over between every break. I personally have never seen that many ads for any candidate in my life but that alone is a big clue to a desperate effort.

      • gretchen, definitely agree with you, not sure how anyone can call him the spoiler. he got in first last election and first this time.
        pres trump only supported nancy because of the governor, very disappointed that the governor decided to endorse nancy and recommend her to trump knowing how lazy and ineffective she is at lieutenant governor.

      • If you vote for someone because they were the first to announce their campaign or file for the seat then you are voting for the wrong reason. We used to have a semi-closed primary now it’s an open primary, to accept the first person to put their name forward isn’t how anyone should voted let alone use as a mark of distinction.

    • Nancy is total garbage and butt lazy at her job today as she was at her job in corrections.
      Vote Nick! His record of ethics and work is better than the Dunleavy Dahlstrom administration.

  4. Go Nick! We are so encouraged in our household that the Republicans are taking a stand and not weaseling out on endorsing and that they are asking Nancy to step down if she comes in second. The fact that she won’t commit tells me everything I need to know about her character.

    I am absolutely sick and tired of Nancy’s air war right now. I got three text messages from her yesterday and who can even watch TV these days, with all her ads interrupting? It’s become a harassment campaign on Alaskans. All that money she’s spending to harass us.

    I don’t buy her B.S. She has never taken a tough stand on anything. Go Nick!
