Republican Nick Begich waves to the crowd at the 2022 U.S. House candidate forum held at the Alaska Federation of Natives annual convention.
Candidates in this year’s U.S. House race already had a forum penciled into their calendars, but no invitations had been sent. Delegates to the convention will vote on resolutions, including one about Ballot Measure 2, on Oct. 19. “AFN endorsed Representative Peltola in 2022, and a similar resolution has been submitted for consideration by our delegates this year. It is scheduled to be reviewed in accordance with AFN bylaws at the convention on October 19,” he said.
Those endorsements came after a candidate forum in which Republican candidate Sarah Palin remarked that convention-goers clearly favored Peltola. Polling indicates Begich is Peltola’s leading competitor for the seat once held by Begich’s grandfather, also named Nick Begich, a Democrat who served from 1971 until his death the following year.
