Alaska Republican Party

Ahead of Alaska's Nov. 3 general election, several Anchorage-area House races are drawing the heaviest campaign fundraising and outside spending in the state, with control of the chamber's bipartisan majority at stake. Democrats Denny Wells and Danni Hall, challenging Republican incumbents Mia Costello and Julie Coulombe, each raised roughly $50,000 in the latest reporting period, aided by labor-backed contributions. Independent Rep. Ky Holland and Republican challenger John Boyle remain nearly even in fundraising in a closely watched South Anchorage district, while former Rep. Cliff Groh has built a large financial lead over Republican Dan Sager in a race for an open JBER-area seat.

Independent expenditure groups have added nearly $1 million more, with labor-funded Putting Alaskans First backing moderate and bipartisan-aligned candidates, and conservative groups like Moving Alaska Forward and Families of the Last Frontier supporting Republicans in competitive districts spanning Kodiak, the Kenai Peninsula, and near Fairbanks. August primary results suggest the current 21-seat bipartisan majority could persist, though several close races remain contested heading into November.
