Alaska Lt. Gov. Kevin Meyer will not run for re-election in 2022:
Alaska Gov. Mike Dunleavy and Lt. Gov. Kevin Meyer are seen talking to guests at the governor's annual holiday open house, Dec. 7, 2021 at the Alaska governor's mansion in Juneau. Dunleavy was wearing a sling after shoulder surgery. In a brief interview, Meyer did not rule out an eventual return to politics but said he is feeling burnout and wants to take a break.Under the new election system approved by voters last year, the governor and lieutenant governor run on a single ticket.
Meyer and a Dunleavy campaign spokesman said they do not know who the governor will pick as a replacement, but they did not expect an announcement Tuesday or in the near future. The deadline to enter the 2022 election is June 1. Former President Donald Trump has raised questions about the legitimacy of the 2020 election — during which he lost his bid for re-election to Joe Biden — in part by spreading a debunked conspiracy theory that voting machines were altering ballots. Trump’s efforts to undermine the results of the election culminated in the U.S. Capitol riot on Jan. 6, when his supporters stormed the building and sought to disrupt Congress’ tally of the Electoral College vote.
