Gala Energizes Alaska Republicans Ahead of November Elections

On October 17, 2026, Alaska Republicans demonstrated their enthusiasm at a gala event held in Anchorage's Dena’ina Convention Center.

Gowns, tuxedos, and happy warriors: Alaska Republicans turn out for Ted Cruz, Sullivan, Begich

On October 17, 2026, Alaska Republicans demonstrated their enthusiasm at a gala event held in Anchorage’s Dena’ina Convention Center. The gathering attracted around two thousand attendees, dressed in elegant gowns and suits, creating an atmosphere filled with joy and energy. Keynote speaker, Senator Ted Cruz, urged the crowd to embrace the political battle with optimism, referring to them as ‘happy warriors.’

The evening included notable figures such as Governor Mike Dunleavy, Congressman Nick Begich, and Senator Dan Sullivan, while Senator Lisa Murkowski was notably absent. Cruz’s tradition of supporting Sullivan continued, as he praised the senator’s dedication to Alaska and contrasted the Republican mission against what he described as a Democratic Party increasingly aligned with socialism. Outside, protesters voiced their dissent, but inside, the celebratory spirit prevailed, reminding attendees of the hard work ahead.

Is that what Cruz said? At this point Tucker Carlson has discredited himself beyond belief, but if you have the quote of what you claim Cruz said I’d be interested in seeing it.

Joe, I’m not familiar with how the Chair of the AK Republican Party “totally messed up the Governor’s race”. How did she mess it up? I’m not defending her, I just don’t know anything about her. It seems to me that it is the two Republican candidates-Bronson and Taylor”-who have queered the election for Bernadette Wilson, pun intended. I will rank the red, but I’m not optimistic. Hopefully, we’ll throw out RCV. But back to my question: How did this chairwoman mess up the Governor’s race?

Ah, Tel Aviv Ted who infamously said in an interview with Tucker Carlson that he places the interests of Israel ahead of the United States and his home state of Texas. The optics of associating with a man like that are terrible! Mary Peltola and Bill Hill must be ecstatic over this.

That is a picture of a traitor.
At least the marxists call me an enemy and they are my enemy. They stab at me in the chest as they seek power and degrade our country.
Cruz and his types call me a friend then stab me in the back- for they love a foreign country and war far more then the love our country. They constantly lie.
I hope the republican party as currently constituted quickly fades away and is replaced by America First. Or if they resist that fate then they are like the Torries in Great Britain. Irrelevant as other parties form to address the needs of the electorate.

No mention of Republican candidates for Governor. Interesting. It appears Sullivan wants to keep them at arms length. The Alaskan Republican leadership, appear to concede the Governor race to the Homosexual, no car, no house, still living with mommy Kress.
Small wonder after the Chair of the Alaska Republican Party totally messed up the Governor’s race. That Lady should resign in disgrace. It is apparent they do not want Wilson. So in true form ie look at Texas, the old guard Republicans would rather lose than get a Republican candidate that does not measure up to the old guard standards.
