Here's everyone who filed to run for the Alaska Legislature

Good morning, Alaska!

In this edition: It was a surprisingly surprising filing deadline day on Wednesday with some unexpected shakeups in the moments before the 5 p.m. filing deadline. I’ll be unpacking some of the day’s highlights in a post later today, but for now after a morning of hammering out bugs and incorporating feedback (thanks, everyone!) I’ve put together what is hopefully a readable list of everyone who’s filed to run for the Alaska Legislature this year. Find the official list here and the full maps here.

Candidates who won’t continue to the general under the new top-four primary: 1. The only race with five candidates is Fairbanks’ House District 35, which is open.

Candidates running unopposed: 6 7. Sen. Kiehl and Reps. Story, Carpenter, Prax, Edgmon and Patkotak as well as CJ McCormick.

The only legislator who gets to sit this one out: Sen. Donny Olson, D-Golovin, who was spared from having to run again by this round of Alaska Redistricting.
