In a clear call to action for the upcoming Alaska gubernatorial race, the Alaska Family Council is urging voters to use the state’s ranked‑choice voting system to rank the three Republican candidates—Bernadette Wilson, Dave Bronson and Treg Taylor—in the order they prefer. The group argues that this strategy offers the best chance to prevent a Democratic socialist from winning the governor’s office.
Why the council backs a “rank‑the‑red” approach
Council members note that Bernadette Wilson received the most votes in the jungle primary, a factual point they acknowledge. However, they contend that without ranking all three Republicans, the vote could split and allow the Democrat to prevail. By ranking the red candidates first, the council believes Alaskans can keep the governor’s seat in conservative hands.
Prayer gatherings to accompany the political effort
Alongside the voting strategy, the Alaska Family Council is launching a series of monthly prayer gatherings in Anchorage. The first meeting is scheduled for Thursday, September 10, from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., with additional dates set for October 8, November 5 and December 10. Participants are invited to email the council for details.
A special prayer and fast is planned for Monday, November 2, the day before the election, emphasizing the council’s belief that spiritual guidance is essential for the state’s future.
Faith‑based appeal to voters
The council’s invitation references 2 Chronicles 7:14, urging Alaskans to humble themselves, pray, and turn from wicked ways, promising divine forgiveness and restoration of the land. The organization encourages those unable to attend in person to start their own prayer meetings, extending the call for spiritual unity across the state.
While the council does not endorse a specific gubernatorial candidate, it stresses that a coordinated “rank‑the‑red” effort is crucial to keep Alaska’s government aligned with conservative values and to end what it describes as the “mess” of ranked‑choice voting.
