Twenty candidates are already in the governor’s race, including former Governor Bill Walker and a new challenger named Dan Sullivan, a Petersburg teacher. Former legislator Lesil McGuire, backed by Elizabeth Rexford, is pushing for bipartisan solutions and tackling the lieutenant governor pay gap. Other top contenders are locking in running mates: Adam Crum with Bob Craig for efficiency, Democratic Senator Matt Claman with healthcare expert Sarah Skeel, and Meda DeWitt with Navy veteran Chris Steere for an all-Native ticket. Notable names like Treg Taylor and Lt. Gov. Nancy Dahlstrom still haven’t picked running mates. With the August primary fast approaching, the field is still fluid—and the drama’s just beginning.
