Alaska Dunleavy governor to announce the race for the Senate against Murkowski

EXCLUSIVE: Alaska governor Mike Dunleavy is ready to announce a 2028 race for the American Senate against Senator Lisa Murkowski, the republican legislator who clashed several times with President Donald Trump, according to several familiar sources with the situation or close to the governor.

“He’s not going to leave his mandate,” Fox News Digital Dunleavy told Fox News, who used to work with him in Juneau, Alaska

The last governor to resign to present himself to higher functions – the vice -presidential candidate of 2008, Sarah Palin – “never recovered,” said the source.

Dunleavy “cares deeply and wants Alaska to succeed,” said the source, adding that the governor recently joked that he did not understand why people would like to “live with all this concrete” in Washington and not in the Verdant de l’Arctique as one of the reasons why the republican born in Pennsylvania likes to avoid the east coast.

“But he knows that (being in Washington) is the only way to get things done,” said the source, adding that Dunleavy was the second governor to approve Trump in 2016, and that a higher member of the White House staff said that he visits more than any other governor despite a 3500 mile trek.

“He does not concern an ego and pushes himself in front of the cameras. He does things … he is not like:” Please put me on this committee “or” I have to attend this ball “. He does not like these types of things,” added the source.

“Trump has already told him about running and wants him to run.”

Dunleavy was notably present at the Elmendorf-Richardson base in Anchorage, Alaska, when Trump met Russian President Vladimir Putin on August 15.

Despite being a red state, it is a “climb” to ensure that the governor elected as a republican, another source close to the situation, told Fox News Digital on Wednesday.

Former Governor Jay Hammond was the last Republican to have won the re -election in 1978. Another Republican, Sean Parnell, who increased work after Palin’s departure in 2009, did not technically win the re -election during the 2010 cycle that kept him in power.

“Many people have mentioned him (race) to him and … I think it’s a very viable option for him,” said the source.

“Obviously, there are many frustrations with Senator Murkowski,” he said, adding that the disparity in Trump’s relationship between the two Alaskians is “no secret”.

“Governor Dunleavy was not only a prosperous governor, but an ally strong enough for him. It is therefore natural that he hears this from the Alaskians – but also people from the broad Maga movement.”

Dunleavy, like Murkowski, also succeeded in the classified choice voting system of the state – which, according to criticism, exerted excessively to the Democrats. Mary Peltola, a democrat, notably won the siege of the deceased republican representative Don Young, who led the large district for decades.

Murkowski “has never faced a challenger like him” which has wide support outside the conservative circles, noted the second source.

The governor is very close to the indigenous communities on the north side and beyond, where residents of distant communities congratulated him on concentrating on the energy development potential of Alaska and the allocation of resources for questions such as rural education and infrastructure.

A political analyst and alaska sounder has accepted.

“The Conservatives would welcome an opportunity to overthrow Murkowski,” he said in an interview on Thursday.

“The fact that (Trump) and Murkowski had such a tense and Dunleavy relationship and the president with a good relationship is really what led us to the conversation,” he said.

An area on which all parties agreed is the importance of native voting in the elections in Alaska – in particular those featuring Murkowski or Dunleavy. While the indigenous electorate is leaning on the left, they also cross the holiday lines to support the two candidates – configuring what the sounder has described as an interesting confrontation.

“What would happen in a match like this is that they would feel in conflict and you would see some of them back from Dunleavy and some of them back Murkowski … Those who are mainly involved in the oil and gas and resources sector, they consider Murkowski as strong on these problems as well as Dunleavy and they would feel in conflict about who to support.”

The difference between the two, he reiterated, is that the other dunleavy base is firmly on the right conservative, while Murkowski is in the center where she also attracts the support of moderate democrats.

Murkowski, daughter of another Republican governor of Alaska, Frank Murkowski, also set up an offer strong enough to win a writing campaign in 2010 after being eliminated from the GOP ticket by the Tea Party candidate, Joe Miller.

All those who spoke to Fox News Digital agreed that the race would be very close to watching.

Alaska also swears uniquely in its governors in December – a month earlier than the presidency, the congress and most other heads of state.

Fox News Digital contacted a Dunleavy representative as well as a contact listed for the Murkowski campaign and his Senate office and the White House to comment.
