ANCHORAGE, Alaska - Former Attorney General Treg Taylor has named Candice English, an Alaska manufacturing leader, as his running mate in the crowded race for Alaska governor.
“Candice English represents the grit of the Last Frontier,” Taylor said in a Monday press release. Taylor is running as a Republican.
“She overcame polio, worked the North Slope, and built a company for the toughest jobs in the world. She proved Alaska-made is not just a marketing slogan. It can compete anywhere. ” English founded the Anchorage and Deadhorse machine shop “Northern Solutions” and held a 20-year career with ARCO Alaska on the North Slope, according to Taylor’s statement.
“In my life, I never made excuses because something was hard,” English said in the release. “I built my company by designing and manufacturing tools that solve hard problems. Juneau politicians have spent too much time making excuses. Alaska’s best days are still ahead, but we need to waste less, produce more, and give the next generation the tools to build something better.
”Including Taylor, there are 18 people currently running for governor, and including his presumed ticket, seven have announced lieutenant governors. Those include:Five people injured in moose attacks in Anchorage, Fish & Game saysAn Anchorage Food Pantry asks for help as donations decline
