Thanksgiving has come and gone, and the holiday season is officially in full swing. Let’s check in on how our local politicos celebrated and what they are thankful for this year.

***
Rep. Tilton’s starting us off with her signature celebratory banner profile pic change. I haven’t decided if this is sheer brilliance or post turkey laziness, but I love it either way.

***
I typically don’t share memes, but this is a Stalker original.

***
Thanksgiving is a time to set aside past differences… 👀

***
bake all the things… 🥧🥧🥧

***
and count our many blessings. Four generations together. Wow. It doesn’t get better than that. ❤️

***
I guess Sen. Revak didn’t get the memo not to talk politics or religion at the dinner table.

***
Wait, is Rep. Rasmussen back in the minority?!!! 🙃

***
Let’s not forget our annual recycled photo greetings from Governor Mike Dunleavy. (Are we going to get a new picture for Christmas this year?)

Hold on… WHERE IS TITO?!?!

***
I repeat, WHERE IS TITO?!

***
Speaking of the Governor, Mike spent Thanksgiving recovering from shoulder surgery. Always illuminating to compare the comments on Facebook to Alaska Twitter. Such fine people, on both sides. 🤡🤡🤡

***
Rep. Cronk is channeling some white walker vibes. I didn’t know Tok was north of the Wall. 🥶

***
Speaking of white Walkers. 🤣

***

Sen. Myers better watch out, Rep. Drummond is coming for his jokes. Bravo, Harriet.

***
Either way Robb is still a man of the people.

***
I’m just going to put this here.

***
I’ve missed watching Sen. Begich perform, so I’m excited he shared this link to his recent Zalon Zoom performance. Scroll almost to the end (2:07) to enjoy Tom and Sarah.

***
OMG. 🍿🍿🍿

I can only imagine some of the ideas for his campaign:

Take off the mask and smell the freedom.

All I ask is that you make me your second choice.

Let’s fire Anne Zink!

***
Wait a minute 🧐 does this mean Kelly is supporting Don Young?

***
Why am I not surprised that Chris Constant and Forrest Dunbar are the reason we can’t use #AncAss? It’s perfect in every way. I respectfully ask them to grow some thicker skin and reconsider immediately.

***
Glad to see Chris has finally found someone else to obsessively hate tweet. Things haven’t been the same since Donald Trump was banned from Twitter.

***
I don’t hate these anti-recall signs. Still hate all the recalls tho.

***
YES!!! Does this mean a return of the Vazquez Vanquisher? Or is she going to throw it way back and dust off the ole Segway? I am so here for this.

Overheard via Donna Walker:

Spotted in the Anchorage Action Facebook group:

***
Spotted in Florida: Jeff Landfield falling in love with Gov. Rick DeSantis after spending a maskless week in Florida. Maybe Jeff and Suzanne can be neighbors!

***

Spotted in South Anchorage: A cluster of Rachel Ries for Assembly signs still up after she made the switch to School Board.

***
Overheard at the Dunleavy fundraiser at the Petroleum Club:
Bob Bell going on about how we need to support Mike and get rid of all the RINOs – with Reps. Sara Rasmussen and Kelly Merrick in the room! Bob Bell could never read a room.
***
Overheard in Anchorage:
Person 1: “I’ll bet you $100 they’re going to close the Capitol to the public again next year.”
Person 2: “100% not taking that bet. It a done deal.”

The Alaska Stalker was born and raised in Alaska. She lives in South Anchorage with her husband and three kids five and under. She is not Jeff Landfield.
