They are not giving in: Another leading Republican women’s club supports Nick Begich for Congress

The trend is also evident in two polls that asked (mostly conservative) Alaskans on Monday who they preferred for Congress. In that poll, Nick Begich was supported by 85% of Alaska – a must Readers who participated.

After the Trump endorsement on Monday, MRAK tried a slightly different question: “Given that Trump endorsed Nancy Dahlstrom, who are you supporting in the Alaska congressional election in August?” The result is 83% for Nick Begich. The poll closed Thursday morning.

Both candidates have their supporters: While Dahlstrom is supported by Trump, Governor Mike Dunleavy and the National Republican Congressional Committee, Begich has the support of the House Freedom Caucus, Senator Mike Lee, Representative Byron Donalds and Representative Scott Perry, as well as Vivek Ramaswamy, entrepreneur and former presidential candidate.

He now enjoys the full support of two grassroots women’s clubs that are the strength of the Alaska Republican Party.

Since 2022, Alaska has had so-called nonpartisan primaries, which means that candidates from all parties have the same ballot. There are 12 registered candidates for the seat currently held by Democratic Representative Mary Peltola. There are 61 days left until the Alaska primary on August 20.

The last four with the most votes in the primary will advance to the general election on November 5.
