The Last Frontier Republican Club, a grassroots organization dedicated to electing Republicans and strengthening Alaska through informed participation, announced it will host a live gubernatorial debate on Tuesday, September 8. The event will take place at the historic Petroleum Club of Anchorage, a venue familiar to many state leaders and business owners.
Free access for members, low cost for the public
Tickets are free for club members, while non‑members can attend for a modest $15 fee. Registration is available through the club’s website, ensuring that any Alaskan who wishes to learn more about the candidates can easily sign up.
Four tickets on the November ballot
Alaska voters will choose from four tickets in the November general election. The ballot includes:
- Bernadette Wilson with running mate Mike Shower
- Dave Bronson paired with Josh Church
- Candi English alongside Jodi Taylor
- Jonathon Kreiss‑Tomkins (“JKT”) with Zac Johnson
All four tickets represent a range of conservative and independent perspectives, reflecting the state’s tradition of robust, principled debate.
Why the debate matters for Alaskans
In a state where resource development, fiscal responsibility, and family values are top priorities, giving voters direct access to the candidates is essential. The Last Frontier Republican Club’s purpose statement emphasizes its role in electing Republicans, supporting conservative leadership, and fostering informed civic participation. By inviting independents who share these values, the club aims to unite Alaskans around a common vision for a prosperous future.
Governor‑hopefuls are expected to address key issues such as responsible oil and gas development, protecting the rights of families, and ensuring that the state’s budget reflects conservative stewardship. The debate will also provide a platform for candidates to discuss how they will uphold the Constitution and protect individual liberty for every Alaskan.
How to attend
Interested residents can register online via the club’s events page. The venue will follow standard safety protocols, and seating will be limited to ensure a respectful, orderly discussion. Attendees will have the opportunity to submit questions during a designated Q&A segment, allowing the public to hold each candidate accountable.
Community impact
Beyond the political significance, the debate underscores Anchorage’s role as the hub of Alaskan civic life. Hosting the event at the Petroleum Club brings together business leaders, faith‑based families, and everyday citizens in a setting that reflects the state’s heritage of hard work and community spirit.
For Alaskans who value faith, family, and freedom, the upcoming debate offers a chance to hear directly from those who will shape policy over the next four years. The Last Frontier Republican Club encourages all eligible voters to attend, ask tough questions, and make an informed choice at the ballot box.
