“Mallott was the Democratic nominee for Alaska governor in 2014, until he agreed to merge his campaign with that of independent candidate Bill Walker and become Walker’s running mate.”
and
ANCHORAGE — The Alaska AFL-CIO announced Thursday that its federated unions had voted to endorse gubernatorial candidate Bill Walker and new running mate Byron Mallott, just two weeks after vowing not to support a candidate in what had been a three-way race.
The endorsement followed the announcement Tuesday to merge the campaigns of Walker, running for governor as an independent, and Mallott, who had won the nomination to run for governor as a Democrat. Walker and state Democrats saw the new, so-called “Alaska First Unity ticket,” with Mallott now running for lieutenant governor, as the best way to unseat incumbent Republican Gov. Sean Parnell in the Nov. 4 general election.

Beltrami said Walker and Mallott have shown they would better support the right of public employees to collectively bargain, labor agreements for large federal construction projects, and an expansion of the state Medicaid program to get more Alaskans insured.
While Walker has said he considers himself a Republican, he seemed less focused on conservative social issues than many Republicans and his views lined up with the things important to unions, Beltrami said.
An “overwhelming majority” of the unions that comprise the AFL-CIO voted to endorse Walker and Mallott, said Beltrami, who would not say exactly how many voted against the endorsement. There were 52 executive council members present for the vote, and it required a two-thirds majority to pass, he said.
Since you don’t live here, **you don’t understand** that the Lt Gov, Dan Sullivan (the mayor, NOT the Marine) is the anti-Christ to Alaska Unions.
Look up “AO-37 Anchorage” before you start calling folks names. Just because you are clueless, don’t pass that as normal for others....
