Alaska Sen. Mike Shower resigns Nov. 3 to run for lieutenant governor, triggering a GOP appointment process.
Alaska State Senator Mike Shower, R-Wasilla, will resign effective November 3 to focus on his campaign for lieutenant governor alongside gubernatorial candidate Bernadette Wilson.
He cited state laws banning fundraising during legislative sessions as a key reason, noting that being in Juneau could hinder his campaign and risk legal issues.
Shower, who has represented a large portion of the Matanuska-Susitna Borough since 2018 and leads the Republican minority, will trigger a 30-day appointment process by Governor Mike Dunleavy to fill his seat, requiring confirmation by remaining Republican senators.
Potential candidates include Reps. George Rauscher and Kevin McCabe, and former Wildlife Troopers head Doug Massie.
Shower emphasized the need for a conservative successor but did not endorse any candidate.
