Sarah Palin Announces She’s Running for Congress in Alaska

Sarah Palin, a former Alaska governor and the Republican nominee for vice president in 2008, said Friday that she was entering the race for Alaska’s lone congressional seat, marking her return to national politics after she helped revive the anti-establishment rhetoric that has come to define the Republican Party.

She will be joining a crowded field of nearly 40 candidates to fill the House seat left vacant by Representative Don Young, whose unexpected death last month has spurred one of the largest political shifts in the state in 50 years.

Ms. Palin said she planned to honor Mr. Young’s legacy, painting a dystopian picture of the nation in crisis, criticizing the “radical left,” high gas prices, inflation and illegal immigration.

“America is at a tipping point,” she said in the statement. “As I’ve watched the far left destroy the country, I knew I had to step up and join the fight.”

Sorry about the typo in my last post. “Hugh” should have read “huge.”

Excellent!

She became one of the RINOs. She got leftist Bill Walker elected in 2014 over a conservative. And when Waler couldn't win reelection, he endorsed the Democrat in 2018.

Meanwhile she didn't do anything to have Murkowski replace. She just kisses her butt.

Ditto.

The VP campaign contributed to her family troubles.

True public service sometimes carries a high private price.

Palin's family is just like most on FR. I met her in early 90's; by far the best governor I ever witnessed here in Alaska. I'll trust and vote for her even over Begich. The repub party up here is running after Begich; that scares me.

I'll stick with Palin over 90% of Alaska politicians. They are way too corrupt for me. Not so with Palin.

great! one of our greatest tea party soldiers back in the saddle. may God bless her efforts.

[JeepersFreepers]

I agree with Jane. Palin should have run against Murkowski. She is probably the only one that would defeat this despicable RINO. Palin could make a real difference in the Senate. Not so much in the House, although it will be good to have her there.

Donald Trump needs to endorse her, ASAP, and she needs to make sure that all that vote for her also, successfully, get around the new voter choice ranking system that’s going to be used, for the first time in Alaska! Voter Choice Ranking could end up screwing up the final results, and it could prevent conservatives from winning the general election!

Well, I hope she wins. She shoulda gone after that senate seat.

Thanks for an Alaskan viewpoint, Eska :)

My biggest criticism is her association with McPain.

This could be our best bet to keep an eye on the Russians.

"She's the only reason I voted for McCain."

Though we lost in 2008 we had one BIG PARTY at FR supporting the McCain/Palin ticket!

Her speech at the convention was awesome!
