Alaska has depended on Mr. Young's leadership in the House of Representatives since 1973, but now thanks to Sen. Lisa Murkowski, we will be without any representation until mid-August.
Because of statutory timelines and the time needed for printing and distributing ballots, it's clear that Alaska will have no member of the House until mid-August.
Ballot Measure 2 is widely accepted to have been put in place as an incumbent-protection plan for Ms. Murkowski.
The 2010 election was before former President Donald Trump enacted many policies that benefited Alaska tremendously, and also before Ms. Murkowski opposed Mr. Trump's election in 2016, his reelection in 2020 and many of his efforts, like the confirmation of Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court.
So along came Ballot Measure 2, which was drafted and championed by political operative Scott Kendall, who previously served as counsel to Ms. Murkowski's 2010 write-in campaign and subsequently was campaign coordinator in her most recent reelection in 2016.
There can be no doubt that the massive restructuring of our election process was done by Ms. Murkowski's team for Ms. Murkowski's benefit and not for the best interest of the people of Alaska.
Once again, we see Ms. Murkowski's concern for herself prevailing over the people's interests.
