A former educator from the Mat-Su making a late run for Alaska’s U.S. Senate seat said she was influenced in part by last week’s draft opinion from the U.S. Supreme Court that would strip the rights to abortion granted by the Roe v. Wade decision.
Pat Chesbro filed on Wednesday to run as a Democrat in Alaska's election for U.S. Senate.
Chesbro is the second Democrat to file for the U.S. Senate seat; Anchorage state Sen. Elvi Gray-Jackson entered the race in February butPolitical observers said it’s hard to predict exactly how Chesbro’s candidacy changes the race. But their initial reactions focused on its likely effects on the dynamics between Tshibaka and Murkowski, who both have been running for months.
“You’re going to get more Democrats and moderates voting, and that’s not helping Tshibaka,” Begich said.
