Nick Begich was the keynote speaker at the annual Alaska Outdoor Council’s banquet, held this year at the Sullivan Arena in Anchorage on Saturday night.
The Alaska Outdoor Council has endorsed Begich for Congress. The council has numerous clubs and member organizations dedicated to outdoor recreation, hunting, and conservation.
Also spotted at the Alaska Outdoor Council banquet was Lt. Gov. Nancy Dahlstrom, Alaska House Speaker Cathy Tilton, Rep. Kevin McCabe, Rep. Mike Cronk, and Rep. Stanley Wright.
Begich told the hundreds in attendance that he had spoken with former President Donald Trump, who told him to tell Alaskans that, “On day one, I am going to get to work repealing those 66 executive orders” that President Joe Biden has made that targeted Alaskans and their rights during his one term in office.
Earlier this week, Begich announced the endorsement of that National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB), the leading national advocacy organization for small businesses.
Begich is the Republican candidate running to replace Democrat Mary Peltola.
