Summary
Bill Hill, an independent educator and fisherman from Southwest Alaska, is trailing Republican incumbent Nick Begich by twelve points—but he’s not giving up. After the top Democrat in the race dropped out and endorsed him, Hill sees a real shot at victory, especially with Alaska’s growing independent voter base and a national trend favoring outsider candidates. While Begich touts his record on oil, gas, and rural healthcare, Hill attacks his policies for worsening inflation and healthcare costs—and vows to stay free from corporate PAC money. With labor groups backing him and a shifting electorate, Hill’s underdog campaign could be the surprise of November’s election.
