With days to go in the US House race, Sarah Palin left Alaska to hold a fundraiser in Minneapolis and speak at CPAC in Dallas. Still, Nick Begich and Mary Peltola — who attended a Kenai candidate forum without Palin — recognize she's a formidable opponent.
Palin is no stranger to running as an outsider. In the 2006 governor’s race, she defeated Republican incumbent Gov. Frank Murkowski in the GOP primary. Her victory came even as she ran on cleaning up corruption — including in her own party. Many establishment Republicans remember her for the moments when she wasn’t afraid to go against them.
Don and Alice Heckert, who live in Kenai, said they planned to rank Begich first, but that forum would likely change who they rank second on their ballot. In Dallas, Palin’s onstage appearance came two days before the keynote address from former President Trump. Trump and Palin appeared onstage together in Anchorage last month, when the former president. Trump called Palin “legendary.”
Peltola raised the second-largest sum in the period, raking in around $136,000. That’s more than double the $64,000 that Begich raised. “You could be, say, the most popular candidate and you could actually not win the thing,” Palin said in Juneau. “The third-place vote getter on the surface could actually win this thing.”“It doesn’t matter if you win by getting the most votes. Really it matters if you have more second and third place votes,” Palin said. “It’s bizarre, it’s convoluted, it’s complicated, and it results in voter suppression.
