Oftentimes, candidates with extreme leftist positions can fly under the radar when it comes to Alaska’s local assembly and school board races, which are technically “nonpartisan.”

But in the case of Juneau and Fairbanks, Planned Parenthood has outed more than a dozen candidates whom they admire for being ardent pro-abortion, LGBTQ activists.

Planned Parenthood does its homework, and is adamant that endorsed candidates are fully on board with its hardline political philosophy. The abortion business also knows that assembly, city and school board candidates can, in fact, either hinder or advance its agenda in schools and the wider community.

Both Juneau and Fairbanks hold their elections on Oct. 3, but early voting has already begun.
