Nancy Dahlstrom announced her resignation as the head of the corrections department Monday afternoon, minutes before the campaign announcement.
Gov. Mike Dunleavy and former Department of Corrections Commissioner Nancy Dahlstrom are running as a team for governor and lieutenant governor in the 2022 election.
Dunleavy said Dahlstrom’s executive and legislative experience makes her well suited to take over the state’s top job at a moment’s notice, if she had to. Dahlstrom announced her resignation as the head of the Corrections Department Monday afternoon, minutes before the campaign announcement came. Dahlstrom, who lives in Eagle River, had an unusual start in state politics. She ran for state House in 2002 as a conservative challenger to the incumbent House member, Lisa Murkowski. Dahlstrom lost in the Republican primary. But that fall, Frank Murkowski was elected governor. He selected his daughter, Lisa, to fill the remainder of his term in the U.S. Senate. That left a vacancy in the state House, and Gov. Murkowski chose Dahlstrom.
