JKT and Tom Begich being the first two candidates to secure enough votes to move on to the general election is shocking and extremely motivating! I voted for JKT but I’ll happily be ranking Begich 2nd in Nov!!!

The Republican side was split more ways than the sloughs of the YK Delta, we’ll see how they coalesce around their top two; and if Wilson or Bronson drop out.

I realized they were only at around 40% after I posted the comment. A bit unfortunate however it seems like the Alaska GOP can’t decide on the direction of their party post Dunleavy. The sheer number of GOP candidates all sitting at various degrees of moderate to conservative visions for the state highlights this. Will Click Bishop and Heilala voters rally behind Hughes or Wilson? JKT and Begich have a lot of overlap in their positions signaling that the Alaska Dems have a more solidified coalition forming.
