Gov. Mike Dunleavy appeared on the Brian Kilmeade radio show March 28 where he was asked about the news that his former Commission of Administration Kelly Tshibaka is mounting a challenge to Sen. Lisa Murkowski in the 2022 primary.
“We know that President Trump wants her primaried,” Kilmeade said. “What could you tell us about this and where do you stand.”
Without getting into too many specifics, Dunleavy praised his former commissioner.
“I just heard this morning that the commissioner made the decision to run today, and so we’re processing it,” he said. “But the commissioner is a smart individual, a hard worker. We’re going to see where this goes. It’s going to be interesting. We anticipate that there will be a lot more folks jump into the primary.”

Kilmeade pressed the governor, asking if he thought Murkowski has “been representing Alaska well.”
“I think Senator Murkowski has been representing Alaskans, but not to the – we don’t always agree,” Dunleavy responded. “Myself and others don’t always agree with some of the decisions the senator has made. But again, some of us are more conservative than others. Some of us are more moderate than others.”
Kilmeade noted that fellow Sen. Dan Sullivan has stated that he will support his Murkowski, and asked if that changed the governor’s mind at all.
“No. I think what you’re going to find out about Alaska is we’re very much individuals and we’re all going to make our own decisions about who we’re going to support,” Dunleavy responded.

WHAT ABOUT DOMINION GOVERNOR?
That is strike three for Sullivan. He congratulated Biden and did not stand up for the President that did much for Alaska Strike1. He voted for the BLM Secretary who’s soe purpose is to strike down Oil exploration on Federal Lands something Alaska uses for 75-80% of its state budget Strike2 and now he is backing Murkowski who has not done any good for Alaska but herself Strike3. Sullivan should resign and pack his bags he does not speak for Alaska and I voted for him this last election something I will not make a second mistake.
Also, he supported the Equality Act.
Dunleavey is a criminal and the 6.5 Billion he received must be audited by a special group of auditors!!! Guaranteed his brother Francis and Penny are involved !!!
I agree with you John J Otness!!!! Such corruption!!! Including the Dominion machines and Prop 2.. if these don’t get dealt with expect more and more criminals in our government!! If we GOP’ers don’t organize and fight as one big unit , we are sunk as a state. We have two GOP strong candidates running for mayor in Anchorage and only one strong extreme liberal candidate running for the mayor!! Do the math. GOP voters split the republican vote awarding liberal candidate the win…I am tired of all our representatives not going to the root of the problem to start the clean-up!!
They all should be primaried!! Gutless and pandering without foresight to the agenda that is happening right under their noses.
Sullivan is a Squish, a RINO. He has to go – no more votes for unprincipled politicians.
