In a targeted campaign aimed at influencing Alaska voters to back a hard-left agenda ahead of the upcoming federal elections, State Sen. Forrest Dunbar (D-Anchorage) is joining an outside, dark-money-funded blitz to blame Republicans for rising health care costs.
On July 15, Dunbar plans to stand alongside AFL-CIO Union President Joelle Hall to announce the launch of what amounts to a sustained, Lower-48-backed political assault on conservative-leaning candidates.
Titled “Sick of It! Fix Health Care Now,” the campaign is a multi-month project by a group called Protect Our Care, which is bankrolled by the nonprofit 1630 Fund. The strategy includes using live events, townhalls, carefully trained storytellers, blanket advertising and a bus tour to gin up opposition to Republicans.
The 1630 Fund is described by Influence Watch as “one of the left’s largest hubs of dark money” and “a clearinghouse of undisclosed cash for the left.” The group does not have to disclose its individual donors and receives funding from wealthy leftist philanthropists and groups. These funds support broad liberal activism, including progressive healthcare policy efforts like the current campaign.
ALASKA WATCHMAN DIRECT TO YOUR INBOX
Partner groups associated with the “Sick of It!” include a long list of pro-abortion entities and groups that support leftist policies on immigration, identity politics, LGBTQ initiatives and critical race theory, among others.
Alaska entities listed as partners include the AFL-CIO union, Alaska Democrats, Alaska State Employees Association, SEIU 775, 907 Initiative and Mat-Su United for Progress.
Overall, the campaign will focus on supporting Obamacare and increasing government funding for healthcare.
While the Alaska campaign will target Sen. Dan Sullivan and Congressman Nick Begich, this is just one element of a broader 14-state initiative focused on attacking GOP candidates across the country in an effort to win the U.S. House and Senate.

Ask the CEO of Providence why the healthcare costs in Alaska are four times the national average. Don’t ask the government. Ask the entity raking in millions -because they have little to no competition in this state.
Do you have an issue with capitalism, or just yoir health care bills?
It’s not capitalism but government sanctioned monopoly
None of the issues that the Left cries over interest me in the slightest bit. They can use all the colors of the rainbow, all the social justice buzz words and slogans they want. All it does it drive me away. I don’t allow brainwashing advertisements to sway me in my purchases, and I certainly won’t let political brainwashing sway my vote. I see a lot of money going towards the ticks of society and I choose to cast my vote for METEOR 2026!
Just end it all.
Dunbar, that’s all you need to know. To not listen to this, rainbow fruit cake. I still can’t believe he got elected.
Wait I forgot he’s from Anchorage/Portland, Sicko town.
More deception from the left to be expected — as always!
Obamacare and millions of illegals are the reason prices are through the roof. Well, that and the thieves running healthcare and the pharmaceutical companies. How soon everyone forgets it was caused by the libtards.
DumbBar….appropriate….
Dumb bar &dumb leave already! Alaskas finest!
Trump is pushing people to the left, he is that bad
We have never had elections. Political theatre to keep the sheep happy. Bread and circuses.
Notice how the Epstein clients are still running the world? Yeah that’s right, your vote means nothing.
But keep tuning into your local propaganda network for your next target of manufactured outrage.
Baaaa baaaa
