After Republican fourth-place candidate Tara Sweeney abruptly withdrew from Alaska’s November U.S. House race, Libertarian Chris Bye will fill a spot in the state’s top-four primary election.
Chris Bye, the Libertarian candidate for Alaska’s U.S. House seat, is seen in an undated campaign photograph shared with the Alaska Division of Elections.
“I mean, we don’t have to be Superman to do good. I mean, I can just be a fishing guide and pick up garbage along the way. This isn’t complicated,” he said. He served in a variety of roles, including as an infantryman, in armor, and as a cavalryman before his career took him to Alaska with the 172nd Infantry Brigade.“I’d be like, ‘Why am I in Iraq? Like, can someone please tell me why you voted to send us here? Because there is absolutely no constitutional emergency for us to be here,’” he said.“I just knew that I didn’t fit in either party,” he said.
Bye retired from the military in 2017 and stayed in Fairbanks but didn’t run for office until this year. The decision came with a high cost: Bye had to give up a civilian job on Fort Wainwright because federal employees aren’t permitted to run for office. He has advocated restrictions on deep-sea trawling and the gradual elimination of the practice in order to reduce salmon bycatch., he said his “top goal,” if elected, is to accelerate the transfer of federal land to individuals and the state., Bye advocates a 10-15% cut in federal spending and a 15% cut in the number of federal employees.
