Buzz Kelley, who finished fourth in Alaska’s U.S. Senate primary race, is suspending his campaign and asking his supporters to vote for fellow Republican Kelly Tshibaka. “Kelly is to the right of Murkowski and I’m to the right of Kelly Tshibaka,” he said.
Kelley missed the Alaska Division of Elections’ Sept. 5 withdrawal deadline, “and there’s a reason for that,” he said.
The fifth-place finisher behind Kelley with 1.05% of the votes was Republican Pat Nolin. Had Kelley withdrawn in time, Nolin would have moved up to fourth place and been on the general election ballot. “So there again, that would muddy the water between Murkowski and Tshibaka and I just don’t want to do that,” he said. “I’m rooting for Kelly Tshibaka and it’s going to be a hard fight anyway because she’s consistently behind Murkowski in votes, and Kelly’s going to need all the votes she can get, and it’s still going to be close.”
