Gov. Bill Walker dropped out of his race for re-election on October 19, just days after his lieutenant governor resigned for making “inappropriate” comments.
Public and private polling showed him trailing in third place, behind Republican Mike Dunleavy and Democrat Mark Begich.
While dropping out, Gov. Walker said, “Alaskans deserve a competitive race,” and then endorsed Begich to replace him.
Due to the timing of the announcement, Walker’s name will still appear on the ballot.
