Alaska Gov. Mike Dunleavy files paperwork to begin fundraising for re-election in 2022
Aug. 13—Alaska Gov. Mike Dunleavy will run for a second term.
On Friday, his campaign submitted a letter of intent with state regulators allowing him to begin fundraising for the 2022 election.
He has not officially filed with the Alaska Division of Elections. The deadline to do so is June 1, and most candidates begin raising money months before officially registering.
Libertarian gubernatorial candidate Billy Toien and Lt. Gov. candidate Shirley Rainbolt are the only candidates so far who have officially registered.
Under Alaska's new election system, governor and lieutenant governor candidates will run as a single ticket. The four tickets that receive the most votes in the primary election will advance to the general election, where a winner will be chosen by ranked-choice voting.
Lt. Gov. Kevin Meyer filed a letter of intent earlier this year.
