JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) - Gov. Sean Parnell holds a huge cash advantage over the other major candidates in the Alaska governor’s race.
Democrat Byron Mallott reported raising more than $230,000 between Sept. 11 and Feb. 1. He ended the period with about $46,000 on hand, plus more than $9,600 in debts.
Bill Walker, who plans to run as an independent, reported raising more than $200,000 between April 24 and Feb. 1. That includes nearly $30,000 in cash or in-kind contributions that Walker made to his campaign. He said if he’s asking others to contribute, why not put in some skin of his own. Walker ended the period with nearly $125,000 available.
Parnell last week reported raising more than $400,000 since late April and having about $330,000 on hand as of Feb. 1.
