Inside Elections was the last major forecaster holding out on our race, and they shifted their prediction of the Alaska Senate race in our direction.

They’re joining every other major election forecaster in recognizing that the momentum is on our side. They know what we know: We are going to win this race.

Alaskans are ready for change. I’ve spent the past nine months traveling to communities in every corner of the state – from Prince of Wales to St. Lawrence Island, the Kenai to the Arctic. And everywhere I go, I hear the same thing: Enough.

Enough of Dan Sullivan’s self-dealing. He’s tripled his personal wealth since getting to DC, and Alaskans are paying the price. We are getting crushed by corporate greed while he turns the other way, and we’re tired of it.

I’m angry that the millionaires and billionaires have rigged the system in DC against working Alaskans. I’m angry that it doesn’t work for us anymore. But I’m also optimistic. Alaskans are can-do people. And together, on November 3rd, we’re going to take the first step toward taking back our state.

We won nearly 50% of the vote in our open primary election, against 15 other candidates of all parties – including incumbent Senator Dan Sullivan.

More than 82,000 Alaskans cast their ballots in favor of our fish, family, freedom campaign for a more abundant Alaska. We beat the incumbent by more than 8 points, and in the first poll of the general election, we’re leading Dan Sullivan by 1 point in the final round of ranked choice voting.

Because while Alaskans are sending a clear message that we’re done with the self-dealing politics of the past, we’re going up against the entire DC establishment and their billionaire-backed super PACs – and they are pummeling us with attack ads. They’re noticing the momentum that we’re building in Alaska, and they’re spending BIG to stop us.

That’s why this race is so close. It’s the closest race in the country, a true 50/50 toss-up! And while I feel confident that, in the end, we are going to win, it isn’t going to be an easy fight. We are up against a corrupt DC system, and they’re fighting with everything they have to keep it that way.

With that in mind, please split a donation between South Carolina House Dems and my campaign for U.S. Senate today.

I’m proud to be running a grassroots campaign. But it means that each and every one of us has to chip in what we can, when we can, to help us win this all-important race. For Alaska, and for the whole country.

Thank you for your support. It makes all the difference.
