Sarah Palin's announcement throws her into a crowded field of nearly 40 candidates vying to fill the seat held by Alaska Rep. Don Young, who died last month
Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin leaves federal court on February 14, 2022 in New York City. | Michael M. Santiago/Getty ImagesFormer Republican vice-presidential candidate and Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin on Friday announced she’s running to fill the House seat held by the late Rep. Don Young.
The move comes after Palin spoke with former President Donald Trump last week, according to two people familiar with the conversation. Trump encouraged the Alaska Republican to run for Congress. The Palin campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Though Palin’s often suggested she would run for office again, she’s been more serious about the proposition in recent weeks, telling Fox News’ Sean Hannity that there’s a “season for everything” and pointing to Trump as her inspiration.
