Group launching effort to recall Mike Dunleavy (R-AK)

[TiltsAreUnderrated]

Begich is the likely candidate but it would be great to see Forrest Dunbar make an attempt, especially since he was one of the masterminds behind the operation that created the "independent with the support of the Democratic party" model that has been so successful.

Begich is the reason we are in this mess. If he didn't run Walker would most likely have won. It was only out of bubris he handed the election to Republicans

Wasn't Walker's polling against Dunleavy worse? AK-GOV has a bit of a curse for incumbents seeking reelection, and Walker's term had not been crisis-free.

Edit: your argument would still make sense despite this if you believe Walker's campaign was crippled by having to expend resources fighting off Begich.

The upshot is that the Democrats aren't taking most of the flack for the current Alaskan crises, boosting their chances in the congressional races.

So did the recall effort just fizzle our I guess?

I wonder who runs in 2022, when Dunleavy should be beatable. Ethan Berkowitz seems like the biggest name on the Alaska Democratic bench nowadays, but there’s also state Senator Scott Kawasaki from Fairbanks who holds a Trump +19 seat and is a big Dunleavy critic. A Berkowitz-Kawasaki ticket seems like the strongest combo.

Walker has not closed his campaign account and has not ruled out running for office again.
