From Alaska Politics Blog:
Jay Ramras put out a press release this morning to announce his plan to run for lieutenant governor in next year’s election. He is the second Republican to get into the race, the other being Craig Campbell, who is currently filling in the position.
No Democrats have yet announced plans to run for lieutenant governor.
There was some speculation that Les Gara might, but he told me that’s not so.
Ramras, a three term state representative from Fairbanks, has been highly critical of the Palin/Parnell administration and its approach to pursuing a natural gas pipeline. He’s coming by the Daily News in a minute and I’ll ask him about why he wants to try and be lieutenant governor.
