Alaska’s primary election is underway, with seventeen candidates competing for the governor’s seat. The crowded field has led to a situation where voters are behaving like a herd, moving in a particular direction due to external influences rather than a clear vision for the state’s future.

The Hughes-Gettys Campaign

One campaign that has been gaining momentum is that of Senator Shelley Hughes and her running mate, retired General Blake Gettys. As more people meet the candidates and learn about their plans, the herd is shifting in their direction. However, this shift has also led to attacks from other campaigns, attempting to scare voters away from Hughes and Gettys.

For example, Dave Bronson’s team has been telling voters that Hughes is in tenth place, and therefore, it would be a waste to vote for her. However, this claim is not supported by facts, and it is likely an attempt to discourage voters from looking closer at Hughes’ campaign. Another attack came from a Democrat operative who called Hughes part of a cult, without providing any evidence or engaging in a policy discussion.

The lack of attacks on other candidates, such as Bronson and Bernadette Wilson, suggests that the well-funded left is not spending against the candidates they actually want to face in November. This silence is telling, and it indicates that Hughes and Gettys are the candidates to watch in this election.

A Call to Action

Voters should not be swayed by empty promises or soundbites. Instead, they should look for a candidate with a real plan and a vision for the state’s future. Hughes and Gettys have a comprehensive plan, and their campaign is gaining momentum. It is time for voters to do their homework and choose a candidate who will truly represent their interests.
