With primaries behind them, candidates’ campaigns are kicking into high gear. Some highlights: Mary Peltola's bid for the labor vote, a Nick Begich pig roast, clashes between Murkowski and Tshibaka, plus a 'genuinely suspenseful' U.S. House election.
• Murkowski’s campaign also took its first official swipe at Tshibaka before the paint was dry on primary election results. Attorneys for the campaign sent a letter to TV station KTUU saying that Tshibaka failed to adhere to Federal Communications Commission rules for negative advertising in a recent campaign video. Murkowski’s campaign demanded that Tshibaka’s campaign be denied the lowest advertising rate that is guaranteed to candidates in the 60 days before a general election.
• In his bid for a second four-year term, Republican Gov. Mike Dunleavy was well ahead of his two nearest challengers, Democratic former state legislator Les Gara and independent former Gov. Bill Walker. Dunleavy and Nancy Dahlstrom, former commissioner of the state Department of Corrections, headed to Wasilla Airport on Thursday afternoon for a fundraiser hosted by some local Republican luminaries and attended by GOP state legislators such as Rep. Cathy Tilton and Sen. David Wilson.
• Walker traveled to Fairbanks earlier in the week to attend the Alaska Minerals Summit with Murkowski and Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan, as featured speakers. Walker was back on Anchorage’s Hillside on Tuesday afternoon for the campaign’s first “post-primary” fundraiser. It was said to be a “good crowd” enjoying a great view.
• Later in the afternoon Thursday, the Alaska Republican Party is helping to host an event at the Petroleum Club of Anchorage to “take back the state House.” The Alaska House of Representatives has had a bipartisan majority coalition for the past five years, and House Republicans are campaigning hard to form a majority in their own right. Dunleavy is listed as “a special guest” and there is a minimum donation of $100 suggested for the event.
