Forty-eight candidates will appear on the special primary ballot to fill the remainder of the late Alaska Congressman Don Young’s term. It’s the most candidates ever in one election in Alaska.
Everybody I talked to today and over the weekend, everybody from the political world, is penciling out their lists of who they think is going to make it into the top four, who has name recognition, who can raise money., which is a useful way to think of it. His top tier has three candidates: Palin, Nick Begich III and Al Gross.. Unlike most of the other Begiches, he’s a conservative Republican.
Al Gross is running as a nonpartisan, as he did when he challenged Sen. Dan Sullivan two years ago. That campaign gave Gross name recognition and he has some leftover campaign cash.To be fair to everybody, we really don’t know how this is going to break down. They haven’t started campaigning yet. A lot of this is based on starting name recognition. Then the question is: Who is the 4Right.
Well, the next tier down, to go back to Jeff Landfield’s list, he’s got 10 people in it. There’s plenty of room to debate who belongs in tier 2. But among those names are people with a lot of smarts, and experience and who are well known in policy and political circles. You’ve got legislators, ex-legislators, respected Alaska Native leaders, local assembly members.Right, Jeff Lowenfels. And let me say — he doesn’t like being identified as just a garden columnist.
