Early results in Fairbanks do not look good for most conservative candidates.
While conservative Assembly candidate Bret Rotermund is running unopposed, and Republican-backed School Board Candidate Audra Hull is comfortably ahead in her race against LGBTQ activist Sam Spencer, all other contests are leaning toward the more leftist candidates.
This includes Assembly Seat C, where conservative J.T. McComas-Roe is trailing leftist-backed Garrett Armstrong by about 1,700 votes. Additionally, conservative incumbent Assemblywoman Barbara Haney is trailing LGBTQ activist Patrick Roach by about 1,900 votes.
In another School Board contest, conservative Melissa Burnett is slightly behind Planned Parenthood-backed Naomi Hewitt – 7,072 to 6,941.

It’s not the end of the world.
I hear a lot of my work counterparts that live in Fairbanks complain about Anchorage but looks like you are doing the same stupid stuff north of the range.
Wake up Fairbanks, what’s next calling you Fairbanks/Portland.
Have you ever been to Portland? It’s a beautiful, modern city. Trump’s handlers are showing him videos from five years ago, and he’s STUPID enought to think they were recorded yesterday. For him to call Portland a “war zone” is utterly absurd.p
Maybe it’s their message that’s not connecting with voters.
Fairbanks has gone to the queers and the wok in recent years. Oh, and there are the ones that just don’t want to be bothered with Politics. They are the problem and they will be the biggest bitchers when they reap the rewards of this BS. WOKE IS A JOKE!
Ten bucks says you can’t define woke without a dictionary
