Here is @MaryPeltola first interaction with her crowd with updated results @AKNewsNow
I approached Gov. Mike Dunleavy after he spoke at the Anchorage Baptist Temple and asked for a quick interview. He said “sure.” But then his staffer Andrew Jensen essentially got between me and the governor and led him away. adn.com/politics/2022/…
Sarah Palin, crashing the Alaska Republican Party event (she wasn’t initially invited but came anyway): “United we stand, divided we fall.”
Hey Alaska! Voting is the cool thing to do today! Drop your absentee ballot in the mail if you haven’t already or head to an early voting location. All the info you need at adn.com/Election
TL;DR: If Eileen Fitzgerald were a real person watching this episode of #AlaskaDaily, she’d throw a stapler at the television.

Chuck was so kind and so generous to all of us. I feel so lucky to have known him and will miss him dearly. The loss to our community and Montana can’t be understated.

I got dropped into the 2015 #mtleg fresh out of j-school and Chuck was my north star. He taught me to always start with honey, but have vinegar on hand if needed. "We have a right to be in the room, but we don't have a right to be assholes about it." helenair.com/news/local/chu…
