At-Large district

Alaska's at-large congressional district covers the entire state, and has been represented by Republican Don Young since 1973. Former Alaska House of Representatives Minority Leader Ethan Berkowitz and 2006 Democratic Party nominee and 2002 Green Party Gubernatorial Candidate Diane Benson have both declared candidacies for the Democratic Party. Don Young (Incumbent), State Representative Gabrielle Le Doux, and Lt. Governor Sean Parnell have declared candidacies for the Republican Party. Former State Democratic Party Chair Jake Metcalfe dropped out of the race for Democratic Party nominee after allegations that political adviser Bill Scannell had purchased domain names containing Berkowitz's name and redirected them to a mock blog and a San Francisco LGBT Web site^[1].
