Nancy Dahlstrom will hold public hearings Monday and Aug. 5 on three 2026 primary initiatives, including Ballot Measure 1 to restore Alaska campaign contribution limits (aimed at a “level playing field”), plus Ballot Measure 2 and Ballot Measure 3 tied to party primaries and voter qualifications.

Internet Access Gap: Alaska was ranked America’s largest “internet desert,” scoring near zero on a state broadband index.

Susan Collins.
