Galvin tries again to unseat Young
Anchorage education advocate Alyse Galvin has filed to take another run at Alaska Congressman Don Young in 2020.

“We’re going to run a longer, more strategic campaign that does a better job connecting with all Alaskan voters,” Galvin said. “It’s a pretty big state.”
Galvin is an independent. She’ll run in the Democratic primary, as she did in 2018. In the general election that year, she took 46% of the vote, losing to Young who won with 53%.
