Alaska Lt. Gov. Kevin Meyer announced during a press conference on Tuesday that he will not be running for reelection along with Gov. Mike Dunleavy in 2022.
Meyer served on the Anchorage Assembly for eight years, and another eight years in the Alaska House of Representatives. He served another 10 years in the Alaska Senate and is in his fourth year as lieutenant governor.“Didn’t think it’d be this tough,” Meyer said. “It’s a job I really love and I cherish the time I’ve had with you, governor, to do that.
Meyer said he’s looking forward to focusing his time on “having the best election we could possibly have in 2022.” “During my time in public service, I have met some of the most incredible people, received wise counsel from other leaders, and had the extreme honor of working with some of the most dedicated public servants,” Meyer wrote in a press release later Tuesday.Most Read
