Welcome to a special “they’re running!” edition of The Alaska Stalker, a semi-regular lighthearted round up of the best and worst of Alaska’s social media landscape. Today we’re focusing on folks who have officially filed for office. The deadline was yesterday, June 1st at 5pm.
We’ll be back to our regular trolling on Wednesday. As always, you can send any hot tips, spotted in Alaska, or overheard in Alaska moments to akstalker@alaskalandmine.com

Yes folks, it’s true. Former Representative Nancy Dahlstrom is running for House District 13. This changes everything.

Representative George Rauscher wins the “team player” award on the Republican side. Kudos to him. Definitely not seeing a lot of that lately. Eagle River Senate race anyone?

Just a couple of nice, positive, Dimond High grad millennials, raising their cute kiddos in the same district they grew up in, and running for office to make a difference. Does any one else wish they lived in different districts?! #toughcall

She may have filed in October, but Elvi Gray-Jackson pulled off a heartfelt “I filed” post and campaign kick-off invite in one. That’s how it’s done, folks.

Elias Rojas has some #interesting #hashtags. Pro tip: Don’t actually click on #ClickBelow. Trust me. Also, can we all just agree on one hashtag this election? It’s #AKelect right?

Even Alaska MEMES is getting into the election season spirit!
Nice limerick! We thought we’d take a stab at it:
June 1st was the last day to allow
A candidate with scads of know-how
The filing deadline came, and it was such a shame
All we wanted was leadership now! ?

Sometimes it’s who’s not running. This thread is the best. ?
That will do it for us. Just one more thing… Don’t forget: the deadline to withdraw as a candidate is July 2nd.
