Four legislative candidates have withdrawn so far from the November general election, according to the Alaska Division of Elections.
Democrat Drew Cason, a former legislative aide, had less than 5% of the vote before he dropped out of the race for an open East Anchorage Senate seat, leaving three candidates in the running. Assembly member Forrest Dunbar, a Democrat, is at 49% and Republican Andrew Satterfield at 33%, while Democratic Rep. Geran Tarr has 14.5% of the ballots counted.
Alaska’s new election system means the top four vote getters in each primary election race can advance to November, regardless of their party affiliation. Only one race, for a Fairbanks House seat, had more than four candidates, leaving Alaska Constitution Party candidate Kieran Brown, with 2% of the ballots counted, as the only legislative candidate eliminated under the new system.
