Former Gov. Bill Walker and former Labor and Workforce Development Commissioner Heidi Drygas announced that they are running as a joint ticket for Governor and Lieutenant Governor in the 2022 election.
Walker said:
“The last few years have driven divisiveness and caused economic alarm and instability at a time when our state’s future is at stake. I will work with the legislature to bring an end to this fiscal uncertainty that continues to threaten our future. Time is of the essence. We must rebuild hope, trust, and Alaska. Our opportunities are endless when we work together. I’m pleased that Heidi is on our ticket. Given Heidi’s experience in job creation and workforce development and our combined passion for responsible resource development in Alaska, she is the right person at the right time.”
Drygas said:
“Alaskans need leadership. They want leaders who will reach across the partisan divide and are willing to work hard to solve our biggest challenges. Alaska is a vast and majestic state with immense resources and unlimited potential, but those opportunities are being squandered. We can’t let national politics rise above our state’s interests. Alaskans deserve better.”
The campaign’s aim is to bring together a team from across the political spectrum in Alaska to save the state’s future.
