On March 29, as Reagan reported, Alaska Commissioner of Administration Kelly Tshibaka resigned her position to announce her run as a primary challenger to Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK). In the three remaining days of the reporting period, she managed to raise $214,844, according to Must Read Alaska. In contrast, Sen. Murkowski had raised $380,687 for the entire quarter, with $1,353,204 cash on hand.
It's also noteworthy where the funds came from:
Noticeable in Tshibaka’s fundraising report is that the vast majority of her funds came from Alaskans. Tshibaka got more small-dollar donors in her three days than Murkowski got in three months. Murkowski had more checks from political action committees than she did from Alaskans, and five of her Senate colleagues, including Sen. Susan Collins, chipped in to help her with her reelection.

There is no longer a GOP primary in Alaska.
There is a primary among all candidates, regardless of party affiliation, and the top 4 finishers go on to the general election ballot.
I know less than nothing about the challenger, but how could any Republican not named Romney be worse than Murkowski? Go challenger!
You’re correct. And if Murkowski determines that her support (or lack of it) will result in her coming in 3rd or 4th, she’ll bow out.
I think she’s counting on ranked choice to save her. It may be her undoing.

As long as Alaska still has RCV, Murky ain’t going anywhere until Deep State says so.
RCV = RANKED CHOICE VOTING
Those RCV provisions are in HR1 for a reason.
