According to this National Public Radio story, an independent candidate for U.S. House in Alaska, Alyse Galvin, has already raised $284,000 for her campaign, which is a lot for Alaska. The incumbent, Don Young, is running for re-election. He has been in Congress longer than any other member now serving.
Don Young has been in congress for 45 years. Based on what I can see of the census bureau information, it is likely that his congressional career is older than the majority of eligible votes in Alaska.
HOW MANY GERRYMANDER LEGISLATORS HAVE BEEN ELECTED WITH UNDER 40 PERCENT OF THE GERRYMANDER AREA VOTES ???
SEE THE MAJOR MINORITY RULE ROT IN THE UK HOUSE OF COMMONS.
Not sure how she can be an “independent” candidate running for the Dem nomination?
Galvin is seeking the Democratic nomination for Congress.
How will a Republican voting in the ADL blanket primary vote?
How can any sane person defend this bizarre system?
Since when have minority rule gerrymander oligarchs been *sane* ???

PR and AppV — to get SANE legislators and laws
DemoRep – Alaska has only 1 Congressperson therefore “Gerrymander” is not applicable in this case.
Gene — the insane gerrymander oligarchs in the AK legislature enacted the insane Alaska election system.
Each State is a gerrymander AREA in the INSANE USA election system – with 1 to a zillion USA Reps and the 2 USA Senators.
