Alaska's GOP Civil War in District 30 | Anchorage News

In Alaska’s fiercely conservative House District 30, incumbent Rep. Kevin McCabe faces a Republican primary showdown with four fellow GOP challengers, exposing deep fractures over fiscal conservatism, Permanent Fund dividends, and state spending priorities. McCabe, pushing for a “full” dividend despite past votes against it, clashes with rivals like Doug Massie and Mike Alexander, who accuse him of betraying conservative principles—and even file complaints over campaign signs calling him a “PFD Thief.” Meanwhile, challengers like Doyle Holmes focus on infrastructure, while Democrat Sandra Loomis offers bold tax proposals to fund education and transit. With the top four advancing to November’s general election, voters in this scenic, rural district will decide whether McCabe’s vision for conservatism still commands their trust—or if a new voice will rise to lead.

Alaska LNG Deal Stalls Again | Anchorage News

Alaska lawmakers are back in Juneau for a third special session, pushing for a massive property tax break to make the $55 billion Alaska LNG project viable—but success looks unlikely as leaders admit it’s a “long shot.” While the project promises energy security, jobs, and global markets, key questions remain unanswered: who’s financing it, who’s buying the gas, and what happens if it stalls? Glenfarne hasn’t shared full financials, and lawmakers are demanding clarity on tax revenue, infrastructure costs, and consequences for missed deadlines. Complicating matters, the gas line debate is tangled with corporate tax fights, and Governor Dunleavy’s political capital is depleted after repeated clashes. The consensus? Pause, let a new governor take office in December, and return in January with a clean slate—Glenfarne must lay out its numbers, and lawmakers must untangle the issues to finally move forward.
