Unless the size of the House were considerably increased, even if Alaska were to have greater population growth than it currently has, I can't see Alaska getting a second district before the 2050 census. At current rates, it probably would be the 2080 census. So, not exactly something to be worried about.
But you have to admit that campaigning in the bigger district would be impossible, wouldn't it?
Not really. Assuming that population remains proportional to the current one, a reasonable choice for the smaller district would be Anchorage and Kodiak Burroughs and most of Kenai Burrough (all but Seward and the immediate area in eastern Kenai) with the rest of the state in the larger district. The Fairbanks North Star and Matanuska-Susitna Boroughs would provide access to over half the population of the larger district in an area smaller than Indiana. Add in Juneau and you have two-thirds of the population in an area the size of Indiana. I don't really see where it would be that much more difficult than campaigning statewide currently is in Alaska.
By the way, the proposed split into two districts are about the same politically and both have roughly 65% white population, tho the mix of minorities is different, with the large district having a larger proportion of natives, which should come as no surprise.
