There are many close state House races in Anchorage, and the moderate challengers are campaigning on improving education, an issue they feel weakens their Republican incumbents.
ANCHORAGE, Alaska - Two Anchorage House election races, only separated by a razor-thin margin, show challengers using incumbents education voting records to target what they tell voters ahead of the November election, which will determine who controls state legislative power.
“I’ve explained to them the situation that there would be no money coming this year,” Coulombe said. “The school district would have gotten no money if we hadn’t done that, and I would rather be the bad guy and go back and work on a more longterm solution.” Even though Wright, who did not respond to comment, voted to override the governor’s education veto, Eischeid feels Wright’s overall voting record gives him an advantage.
