District 10 challenger Eastman tops fundraising leading to Tuesday's Republican primary

The candidates in the five-way race for Alaska House of Representatives District 10 have all filed fundraising reports in the run-up to Tuesday’s primary.

Of the five candidates, four are Republicans. Challenger David Eastman has raised the largest campaign war chest, totaling over $21,000 as of Saturday. Incumbent Wes Keller has raised over $5,500. Steve Menard and Andrew Wright have had much smaller fundraising efforts, with neither topping $1,000.

Christian Hartley, the lone Democrat in the race, has raised about $1,700 thus far.

For the primary election this year, registered voters choose one of two ballots. Voters registered as Republican, Nonpartisan, or Undeclared may vote in the Republican primary. Any registered voter may choose the second ballot, which includes the Alaska Democratic Party, Alaska Libertarian Party, and Alaskan Independence Party.

Once the votes have been tallied, KTNA will provide results from this year’s primary.
