On July 10, 2026, Alaska Public Media reported on a campaign finance complaint filed by No on 2, the pro ranked-choice voting group, against Repeal Now, the group leading the initiative to repeal ranked-choice voting. No on 2 claims that Repeal Now falsely states that their primary source of campaign fund contributions—Aurora Action Network—is located in Anchorage, AK. Repeal Now argues that statement is true because the “brain center” of Aurora Action Network is located in Anchorage despite the treasurer being located in Wisconsin.

Out-of-State Funding Comparison

Regardless of the business location of Aurora Action Network, the key question here is simple: Is the money coming from inside or outside Alaska? Alaskans care about preserving the authenticity of Alaska elections—Alaska’s policies should reflect the will of Alaskans, not the will of lower 48 millionaires. So, which campaign is actually fueled by Alaskan dollars? Let’s look at the Statement of Contribution forms that total over $500,000 for each group. No on 2 has submitted two statements with contributions totaling over $500,000, and every single contribution has come from out of state. Repeal Now has submitted one statement with contributions totaling over $500,000 and 25% of the money comes from Alaskans.

Although the math reveals that Repeal Now’s out-of-state funds do outweigh their in-state funds, the math also shows that No on 2 has 6x more out-of-state funding than Repeal Now ($2.4 million compared to $386,500). Additionally, Repeal Now has infinitely more in-state funding than No on 2 ($130,750 compared to $0).
