The Alaska Family Council (AFC) has issued a concise voter guide ahead of the August 18 primary, focusing on five legislative races where more than four candidates are on the ballot. AFC recommends voters support the listed candidates, all of whom align with the council’s priorities on school choice, parental rights, protection of the unborn, and opposition to gender ideology.
Recommended Candidates
House District 23 – Eagle River area: Incumbent Jamie Allard is endorsed.
House District 29 – Eastern MatSu: Incumbent Garret Nelson receives AFC’s recommendation.
House District 30 – Big Lake area: Incumbent Kevin McCabe is endorsed.
House District 37 – Bristol Bay and Southwest areas: AFC backs Brenda Wilson.
Senate District S – Southwest Alaska: AFC recommends Darren Deacon.
Context and Recent Activity
In May, AFC hosted a gubernatorial forum moderated by Joel Davidson of the Alaska Watchman. The discussion centered on issues AFC deems vital to families: school choice, parental rights, protection of the unborn, pediatric gender treatments, and reform of the state’s judicial selection process. The forum’s coverage was highlighted in the council’s guide as essential background for voters evaluating candidates.
How to Vote
Voters can locate their polling place by clicking the link provided in AFC’s original guide. The primary election on August 18 will determine the nominees who advance to the November general election for Alaska’s state House and Senate seats.
Why These Races Matter
Each of the highlighted districts features a competitive field, making the primary outcome crucial for shaping Alaska’s legislative agenda. AFC argues that electing candidates who support parental involvement in education, uphold the sanctity of unborn life, and resist policies that promote gender ideology will preserve traditional family values and protect constitutional freedoms at the state level.
