After the death of Alaska's at-large congressman Don Young, there will be a special election held a few months before the November election.

2020 Senate nominee Al Gross is running on the Democrat side.

On the Republican side, Nick Begich III (nephew of former Senator Mark Begich and grandson of Young's predecessor Nick Begich) is running, who originally intended to primary Young.


Sarah Palin also has expressed interest in a run. Her popularity in the state would probably make it safe for Republicans, and if she runs she's a lock on the primary (she's extremely popular and also Trump would endorse her).

Well she's a popular former governor, and she has near-100% name recognition.

Name recognition doesn’t always mean popular.

Palin might be better off not running in the special and just filing to run in November, as the filing deadline in Alaska is on June 1.

If a governor leaves office with a sky-high approval rating, I think its better to assume they're popular than unpopular until proven otherwise.

I hope she runs, we aren't gonna win AK AL but  it will be music to ears of Elvi Gray-Jackson that's why I put AK Sen to safe D, Murkowski and Kelly can't call AK Sen safe until Elvi Gray-Jackson is eliminated Aug


So run Palin run, she will elect Elvi Gray-Jackson, Murkowski only beat Joe Miller in 2016

Users think that Murkowski won against Don Young in 2016 no she did not she only beat Joe Miller a TeaParty candidate because Palin lobbied Joe Miller to run in 2016 so run Palin run, it will only help Elvi Gray-Jackson

D's aren't really taking AK seriously until after the Primary and should Elvi Gray-Jackson gets in she will be competetive against Kelly or Murkowski, but it Tilts R not safe R until D gets Eliminated

Ugh, that's the one that was still missing in the next congress. MTG, Boebert, Gaetz, Cathron, Gosar and now Palin. This is going to be a heck of a GOP caucus.

Eh, Palin is very unpopular in Alaska since ages, I thought this was widespread knowledge. Her favourability's are trash since like 2010.

Counterexample: McCain wins in 2008 but dies in office due to the increased stress, and Palin becomes President.

Yikes, -20 and I doubt it's gotten much better since.

She'd probably make the seat quite winnable for the Democrats.

On the bright side, at least Mo Brooks leaves office.

Who knows what could happen?
Also there are like 30 other Mo Brooks-types likely to win open seats or defeat vulnerable democrats, so even if he does don't take that as a win.
