Two Alaska Republican district organizations have endorsed congressional candidate Nick Begich. The votes on the endorsements took place over the past 10 days.
District 26 is Wasilla, which is represented in the Alaska House by House Speaker Cathy Tilton.
District 34 is Fairbanks, which is represented in the Alaska House by Rep. Frank Tomaszewski.
“Our districts represent the true grassroots of the conservative movement in our state. These are the volunteers who give their evenings and weekends to make calls, knock doors, put up signs, and do the heavy lifting. It’s an honor to have their support as we work together to restore Alaska’s representation in the House,” Begich said from inside the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee.
Begich also has endorsements from Alaska Young Republicans, six of the seven Alaska Republican Women’s Clubs, the U.S. House Freedom Caucus, Sen. Mike Lee, Rep. Scott Perry, and Rep. Byron Donalds, who is in Donald Trump’s inner circle. Trump, at the request of the National Republican Congressional Committee and Gov. Mike Dunleavy, has endorsed Nancy Dahlstrom, creating a split in the party leadership, although the grassroots seems to be “sticking with Nick.”
