Republicans almost certainly will win a majority of the 60 seats in the Alaska Legislature. Whether they will control the state House and Senate will come down to which Republicans win. (via AlaskaBeacon)
This year, as has been the case for much of the past decade, the party’s candidates are split. There are many differences, but they tend to fall into two groups:
“There’s always been moderates within the Republican ranks who want to just work and move forward,” said Sen. Scott Kawasaki, D-Fairbanks. “And then there’s been sort of the ultra-conservative wing that has sort of a blood oath before they come down .” But for the past several years, the divide has been particularly significant in the state House and the state Senate, affecting who controls those bodies. Since 2017, the state House has been controlled by a coalition that includes Democrats, independents and some moderate Republicans.
After Election Day, Republican candidates led in 21 of the House’s 40 races, and they have the potential to gain more leads as additional votes are counted and ranked choice races are sorted.
