ANCHORAGE – Former Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin, Republican incumbent Nick Begitz III and independent Al Gross have won all-party primaries for Alaska’s only US House of Representatives, according to the Associated Press. They will be three of the four candidates on the ballot in the August 16 general election with a ranking to decide who will fulfill the term of the late MP Don Young (R), the longtime state MP who died suddenly in March. As of Wednesday night, officials had not predicted which other candidate would have garnered enough votes to advance to the top four and thus advance to the general election. With 82 percent of the vote, Palin had 28 percent of the vote, compared to Beggits with 19 percent and Al Gross with 13 percent. Alaska has the wildest elections of 2022 Palin declared victory on Saturday after the first of four ballot counts showed her firmly ahead of the other 47 candidates vying for the federal seat. Palin had the approval of former President Donald Trump and the recognition of her name in a busy stadium. “I look forward to holding general elections so that we can emphasize our ideas for the rectification of this country,” he said on Twitter on Saturday, discussing “the right to hold and bear arms and to restore respect for individual liberty and the Constitution.” ». Begic, who was backed by the state Democratic Party, launched his campaign while Young was still alive, calling himself the most conservative candidate, although he comes from an Alaskan family famous in the political Democratic state. In an interview with the Washington Post on Wednesday, Begic said he was excited about the results and expected to see even more support in the special general election from Alaskas who voted for candidates who did not make it to the final four. “I have spent a career creating businesses and creating jobs,” he said. “Sarah Palin’s biggest source of income right now is the Cameo website. He makes celebrity videos for a living and is essentially a human card. That’s a huge contrast. “ Sarah Palin takes the lead early in the busy House race in Alaska The Alaska polling station has scheduled two more ballots, with the goal of certifying the June 25 election. Voters will choose Yang’s long-term successor through another election, which begins with a run-off election also scheduled for August 16 and ends with a ranking vote in November.
