The leading Republican candidate for #Alaska governor’s plan is just: “DOGE the heck out of it.” Because that has worked SO well so far.🤮🤢🤮🤢🤮🤢 #Akleg #Akelect #Midterms
"We do not have a revenue problem. We have a spending problem. The reality is we need to come into [the State's] budget, and we need to DOGE the heck out of it."

Okay. I know this is long-winded. But I really hope y'all cast your 1 & only primary vote in the way most likely to lead to a good AK & not to a Bernadette or Dave dystopia. The other reasons I'd point to include a.) the campaign being policy-focused vs. vibes-based & b.) Julia Hnilicka Lt. Gov!

Reminder to vote ✅ YES on 1, ❌ NO on 2. Ballot measure 1 would restore campaign donation limits and get big $$ out of #Akleg #Akelect politics. Ballot measure 2 (only on the Nov. ballot) is another well-financed attempt to repeal nonpartisan primaries, finance laws, and ranked choice voting. 🤮
