From the Newsminer:
The Interior general election races for the state Legislature are picking up steam now that the primaries are over and the list of candidates has been solidified.
As candidates prepare for a senate race and seven house races, both Republicans and Democrats in the Interior agree the hot topic for this year’s election is energy.
“Energy and everything related to energy, whether it’s heating homes, driving cars or affording food,” said Kathy Mayo, treasurer for the Alaska Interior Democrats. “I think it’s causing people to pay attention and I believe there will be a much higher voter turnout this year.”
