RGA Statement on Alaska

WASHINGTON D.C. – The Republican Governors Association released the following statement regarding Governor Bill Walker’s announcement that he will drop his bid for re-election:

“Bill Walker’s announcement – only three days before early voting begins – only reinforces why Alaska urgently needs change,” said RGA Communications Director Jon Thompson. “At a time when Alaska faces enormous challenges, Mark Begich and Bill Walker have been more focused on protecting their own power and their shared failed liberal agenda than actually addressing these critical issues. Alaskans deserve better than this political charade by Mark Begich and Bill Walker.”
