Buzz Kelley suspends his campaign and backs Kelly Tshibaka.
FAIRBANKS, Alaska - Buzz Kelley, a Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate race from Wasilla suspended his campaign on Monday, September 12, according to the Associated Press.
Kelley finished fourth in the primary race and was hoping not to divide the Republican vote during the general election, when ranked choice voting will be used. His motivation for dropping out of the election came after Mary Peltola won the special election for the Alaska State House seat, because, according to Kelley, “Republicans Sarah Palin and Nick Begich divided the votes.”
“After the Peltola victory, the divide-and-conquer of Sarah and Nick, I don’t want to be any part of that for the Senate race,” said Kelly in a phone interview with the Associated Press.The other 2 candidates in the race are incumbent U.S. Lisa Murkowski, who had the most votes in the primary election, and Democrat Pat Chesbro.
