Rep. Jamie Allard Secures Gun Owners of America Endorsement for Reelection

On October 18, 2026, Rep. Jamie Allard received an endorsement from Gun Owners of America (GOA) as she campaigns for reelection in Alaska House District 23. This endorsement from the prominent national gun-rights organization strengthens her position while facing a challenge from organized labor, which is heavily financing efforts to unseat her.

Allard is the first active legislator to receive such an endorsement from GOA, a group founded in 1976 that advocates for gun owners’ rights. The endorsement comes amid concerns regarding the National Rifle Association’s struggles with finance and leadership issues, allowing GOA to take a more significant role in representing gun owners. The upcoming election is scheduled for November 3, with Allard competing against Democrat Jim Arlington and Republican challenger Ruby Jones, who is noted for her contentious party switch.
