I’ll add on a few points:
– Alaska is one of the least religious states in the country. The Christian nationalism angle has limited traction.
– It’s not as rural as people think. Most Alaskans live in Anchorage, Fairbanks, or the Mat-Su valley
– AK also has close cultural and economic to Seattle, one of the most left-wing cities in America. Most Alaskans have spent significant amounts of time (often years) there.
Alaskans generally want little to no government involvement in there personal lives. They want a hippies society with an arsenal. Lots of environmental protections with an economy based on resource extraction. There is potential, but dems will have to craft a message specific to Alaska as some policy goals will be DOA in AK.
Snow hippies? Probably
Pretty sure this Schumer’s 4th senate seat he hopes to flip (Maine, Ohio, NC, & AK)
