Welcome to this version of the Alaska Stalker, a lighthearted spherical up of the perfect and worst of Alaska’s social media panorama.

***
Is it simply me, or has the final couple of weeks been exhausting? The tip of session drama on high of the ultimate redistricting maps was A LOT to absorb.  Add an absolute barrage of final minute filings and people saying they’re not working once more — I can hardly sustain. June 1st is in simply 4 days. Maintain on to your hats, of us!

 

Particular Stalker reminder: with all the brand new faces working for workplace this election season, in the event you see one thing Stalker worthy please don’t overlook to ship it my method.

There’s little question Rep. Mike Cronk isn’t the one legislator taking time for some severe publish session relaxation and rest.

I bear in mind the start of session when these infants had been nonetheless leeeettle squishes. Rep. Andi Story is fortunate certainly.

***
Onerous to imagine half these faces won’t be right here subsequent yr. ?

***

Cheers to those that have been right here earlier than, and people to come back.


***
Being an elected official isn’t straightforward. I don’t say it sufficient – thanks to everybody who has served. Additionally, I hope Rep. Spohnholz acquired her pic.

***
Talking of Ivy, I can’t imagine I missed this blatant foreshadowing of her resolution to not search re-election.

***

I’m damaged up over among the of us who’ve determined to not run once more. Rep. Sara Rasmussen’s motivational quotes, absolutely the reward of Sen. Lora Reinbold, and gem after gem posted by Sen. Peter Micciche… (I imply, simply take a look at him, publicly sharing ice cream along with his canine ?) What’s a Stalker to do with out them?!


***
Like I discussed on the Alaska Stalker Fb web page, when God closes a door He at all times opens a window. ?

***
New yr, new run for greater workplace. I’ve to say, I’m digging senate candidate Dunbar’s latest, extra dignified Carhartt jacket. ?

***
Whereas I’m going to overlook so many present legislators subsequent yr, I’m thrilled with a number of new prospects. However, let’s be trustworthy, it’s all about Alyse. That shirt!!!

***
Lyn Franks can also be a Stalker fav. ??

***

Former staffer – and there are a a number of others working, too – Genevieve Mina filed for State Home in East Anchorage. Siya has a improbable Twitter account and I’m wanting ahead to the marketing campaign. Two phrases: well being care. ✊

***
Can somebody please examine in with Rep. Prax and ensure Barbara sees this meme? IT IS VERY IMPORTANT!!! ???

***
The large information of the week was alleged to be that Dunleavy lastly discovered somebody introduced his working mate. Former Corrections Commissioner Nancy Dahlstrom is formally on the ticket. I don’t have lots to say besides Nancy, lady, you TALL. REALLY TALL.

***
In the meantime candidate Christopher Kurka’s over right here reminding of us to comply with his marketing campaign on Gab. ? Chris, please, simply finish this now.

***
??? Regardless of horrible pretend RUMORS please let the Alaska Stalker set the file straight: “AMMO-CAN COFFEE SUPPORTS AND ENDORSES CHRISTOPHER KURKA FOR GOVERNOR OF ALASKA and PAUL HUEPER FOR LT. GOVERNOR of ALASKA.”

***

I grabbed this display cap the opposite day considering I might return and get a greater one. Alas, Sen. Bathe’s remark has disappeared. Did Bathe delete his remark? Or did the Walker marketing campaign suppress it? Walker has been getting a bit block glad as of late, so I can solely assume it’s the latter. 60 feedback on that publish, but I can solely see 10. Appears kinda shady to publish a photograph and op-ed of somebody in a damaging context after which block their reply.

***
A minimum of gubernatorial candidate Charlie Pierce has the decency to reply to imply feedback “privately.”

***
This week’s gubernatorial candidate social media winner is, surprisingly, Les Gara! Whereas I’m nonetheless ready for images of the 4 moose second, I’m glad to listen to Les gave the moose the proper of method like all good Alaskan ought to. Can’t watch for his subsequent social media screw up tho… ???

***
Oh, that’s proper, now we have a particular election for our sole U.S. Home seat in lower than two weeks. ?
Candidate Chris Fixed is able to symbolize all Alaskans. All Alaskans like rando Alaskan Forrest “votes lock step with me on the Meeting” Dunbar. LOL!

***
Like a lot of you, I additionally don’t perceive precisely who Andrew Halcro is concentrating on along with his marketing campaign advertisements. However utilizing Winnie the Poo in a marketing campaign advert the second he goes public area is 100% fiscally conservative. ?

***
Congressional candidate Jeff Lowenfels missed out on some excessive stage earned media not replying to native celeb Libby “David Sedaris is aware of her by identify” Bakalar.

***
I used to get emails from plain outdated Josh Revak. I now get emails from Purple Coronary heart Recipient Josh Revak. His marketing campaign should be going nice!

***
My favourite mailer this week is from the Tara Sweeny PAC, T.A.R.A. (True Alaska Illustration Alliance. Actually.) “Dan Sullivan mentioned one thing good about me in 2018” is sort of as cringe as Al Gross’ radio advert the place he touts that his dad was former Governor Jay Hammond’s legal professional normal. NO ONE CARES!!!

***
With all the pieces occurring it’s arduous for me to recollect to take a look at Sarah Palin’s Insta tales day by day. That’s the place the gold is. I used to be glad Sarah shared this publish from the one Palin I’ve ever voted for: Bristol Palin (on Dancing with the Stars, natch). She was robbed of that Mirror Ball. ?

***
How is the primary ever open major mail in election going? High-quality. Completely fantastic. DO NOT LOOK AT THIS DANGEROUS DISINFORMATION being shared by Elstun Lauesen and preferred by an elected official. Zuckerburg must shut this down ASAP.

***
I’ve no phrases. This poster has sufficient of these crammed on it for everybody.

***
Who is that this Roland Reagan character? ?

***
No, Laddie, say it ain’t so! And on Memorial Day weekend.Flag: United States on Google Android 12L

          

***
Then there’s South Anchorage Home candidate Jennifer Sonne. Sonne has blocked the Alaska Stalker on her social media and made her tweets protected after telling me I used to be a traitor in opposition to girls and to go f*&okay myself. My crime? Poking enjoyable at her for sporting a Carhartt jacket when she filed to run for workplace. She just lately shared this tweet along with her followers.

***
After the Landmine posted it, somebody might have despatched it to the McKenna Brothers. ? Whoops. The remainder is historical past. When Bob Lester posts your Ls, you’re going viral. That remark from Rep. Rasmussen tho…


***
As anticipated, many people on Twitter got here to Sonne’s protection. Why are you so obsessed along with her? It’s only a joke! It’s social media, who cares? Good factors. Besides all of them cared immensely when it was Judy Eledge’s social media and he or she was working for… checks notes… the lowly workplace of Anchorage College Board. Judy’s posts had been even coated by Alaska Public Media, ADN and KTUU. For the file: each the Landmine and Alaska Stalker posted about Judy Eledge’s Fb posts. As a result of it was newsworthy! As for Jennifer Sonne’s posts about vandalism of personal and municipal property, saying she’s a closet Marxist, writing how not listening to any white man’s opinion is a “lifestyle” and plenty of, many extra controversial tweets has been met with ???. Why is that? ?

***
It will get higher worse. All these folks calling the Landmine sexist and a misogynist for publishing could also be a member of our legislature subsequent yr? Effectively, simply take a look for your self. Subsequent time they name Jeff one thing, bear in mind, it’s simply projection.

***
Warning, this subsequent one is really vile.

 

***

As for Jennifer Sonne, she appears utterly fantastic as an IINO (Unbiased in identify solely) going door-to-door making an attempt to win over conservative constituents who voted for “Daddy” Dave Bronson whereas concurrently mocking them and threatening to slash their tires in personal. Fascinating technique.

***
Noticed whereas manning my child’s lemonade stand: People for Prosperity lit dropping for Nick Begich. No, I didn’t ask them about Roland.
***

Noticed at Quick Eddie’s in Tok:
Reps. Wool, Cronk, Josephson, Ed Flanigan, Cindy Spanyers, and Mayor Charlie Pierce. Three completely different tables however all pleasant salutations.
