2022 AK Governor's race: on Principles & Values


Christopher Kurka: Regretted not being in D.C. on January 6, 2021

During a House floor session, Representative Christopher Kurka (R-Wasilla) gave a floor speech where he said he regretted not being in D.C. on January 6. He condemned the violence and talked about peaceful protest, but he legit said he regretted not being there. Wild. He also said a lot of the unindicted coconspirators were likely "federal agents."

Christopher Kurka: COVID: Wrong to open liquor stores but not church of God

Kurka said, "Remember Dunleavy's [COVID-19] dictates were that marijuana shops were essential but houses of worship were not? To the governor in a state already staggering under alcohol and drug abuse, pot shops and liquor stores meant more than the church of God. The man who promised to stand tall for Alaska chose to stand down."

Mike Dunleavy: Supreme Court should decide 2020 election, but accepts Biden

Dunleavy supported the Texas lawsuit that tried in December 2020 to get the Supreme Court to overturn Biden's victories in four states. When asked in December 2020--a month after television networks unofficially declared Biden the winner--how he would manage Alaska's relationship with "President-elect Biden," Dunleavy said that "I'm not there yet, that there's a new president." He added that there was an "outside chance" that there would be a Biden administration--though, in fact, that was overwhelmingly likely.

"If there is any suspicion of fraud, which there is, that really needs to be looked into. That really needs to be investigated," Dunleavy said, though there was no evidence at the time of widespread fraud that could have changed the outcome. "That really needs to be determined, I think by the courts, that if it does exist, then it needs to be rectified. If it doesn't exist, then that needs to be proven as well."
