Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has officially filed to run in the special election to fill the seat of the late Rep. Don Young, joining 40 other candidates in the crowded race.
ANCHORAGE, Alaska - Just one day ahead of what is expected to be a massive memorial service at Anchorage Baptist Temple to honor the late Rep. Don Young — who died earlier this month after 49 years of serving as Alaska’s only representative in the U.S. House — dozens of people are expected to file for office to fill his seat.
In the post, Palin said she plans to “honor” Young’s legacy by adding her name to the race “in the name of service to the state he loved and fought for, because I share that passion for Alaska and the United States of America.” “After deep reflection, and with a humble heart, I will once again answer the call to serve the state and people that I love,” she said in a statement.
Sarah Palin, former Alaska governor, told Fox News host Sean Hannity that she was considering entering the race. “I can still throw a pizza 20 feet in the air,” Lowenfels said in an interview after he filed to run on Wednesday.“The reason why I’m running is, first of all, because Don’s not here, but second because I think I can carry on his legacy,” Lowenfels said. “The purpose of the Alaska congressman is to make sure that Alaskan’s interests and Alaska’s interests are not forgotten.”Begich had previously filed to run for the U.S. House seat before Young died.
