Candidates for governor in Alaska have taken advantage of lifted limits on campaign contributions with six-figure donations from wealthy supporters, recent campaign finance reports show.
“I appreciate the support of everyone who recognizes that Alaska is at the forefront of issues that matter not just to us, but to all Americans, especially energy independence, national security, and leading the fight against extremist policies coming from Washington, D.C.,” Dunleavy said in a statement Tuesday.
According to a written statement from the Walker campaign, 90% of donors to his campaign are Alaska residents. “The other 10 percent are individuals who live out of state and support independent candidates whose loyalty is to their constituents rather than a political party,” the campaign said in an emailed statement.
“Big money in politics is a terrible thing,” said Gara, who has consistently called for campaign contribution limits to be reinstated after a federal court called the state’s previous limits unconstitutional, leaving room for lawmakers to implement newly crafted limits. Several other candidates are running for the governor’s seat, including Republican Kenai Peninsula Borough Mayor Charlie Pierce and Republican state Rep. Christopher Kurka of Wasilla.
Dunleavy’s campaign spent nearly $400,000, of which more than $170,000 went to Anchorage-based political consultant Art Hackney for radio and TV advertising.
