## Resource

Alaska’s election race is heating up fast as the filing deadline looms—20 candidates already eyeing governor, plus dozens more vying for Senate, House, and Congress seats. Late entries include former Governor Bill Walker and a teacher challenging Senator Dan Sullivan. Lesil McGuire joins the governor’s race promising to mend ties between the governor and legislature. Governor hopefuls are also locking in running mates—some calling it a pay cut, others forming alliances like Jesse Sumner with Dr. William Heilala or Adam Crum with Bob Craig. Notable ticket announcements include Democratic Senator Matt Claman with Sarah Skeel and Meda DeWitt’s first-ever all-Native ticket with Chris Steere. Big names like Treg Taylor and Lt. Gov. Nancy Dahlstrom still haven’t picked their running mates. Expect some withdrawals before Monday’s deadline—this is a race with no shortage of drama.
