AK-GOV: Dahlstrom (R) Enters Alaska Gubernatorial Race
Yesterday, Oct. 7th, Nancy Dahlstrom officially announced her campaign for Governor of Alaska. There are now 13 candidates (12 Republican, 1 Democrat) running in the 2026 race.
“I’m stepping forward to lead Alaska because I believe in its future, and I want our kids and grandkids to see theirs here,” Dahlstrom stated, speaking on her motivation in joining the race.
She then reminded Alaskans of her accomplishments as Lieutenant Governor and Commissioner of Corrections: “I’ve spent years serving this state with grit, honesty, and a commitment to getting things done. As Lieutenant Governor, I’ve fought to expand our energy opportunities and safeguard the freedoms that define life in Alaska. As Commissioner of Corrections, I overturned soft-on-crime policies that weakened public safety. And in the Legislature, I stood up for Alaskans and protected the Permanent Fund Dividend.”
Here is what Dahlstrom claims to bring to the table: “Now, I’m running for Governor to bring experience, determination, and common sense to the job. My promise is simple: I’ll work every day to make Alaska a place where families can put down roots, businesses can grow, and communities can thrive.”
