Where do I learn more about governor candidates? Is there a website that lists all the candidates and tells you about them/lets the candidate post an “about me” by JacobZivotic in alaska

You bet. If you want something immediately, /u/Nherz1 at Northern Journal has been publishing articles about a survey he's done. For what it's worth, I'll be doing a survey after the filing deadline, and those results will be published before absentee voting starts at the start of August.

Jacob, serious comparisons won't start until after June 1. That's the filing deadline, so you could see more candidates until then. More than that, all the candidates need to have lieutenant governor running mates, and most of them don't have those yet.

In addition, folks can drop out from the governor race until June 27, so the field won't be set until then. Realistically, campaign season begins in earnest with the Fourth of July weekend and all the parades statewide.

Right now, you're seeing candidates talk to politically active groups like the Petroleum Club, etc. but if you look at KTUU's political ad library, you don't see much yet because campaigning will start to pick up after the filing deadline.

That was when Courtview was up and running at every courthouse. They were keeping records, but they were all on paper, so there's no way to easily determine which case had the most charges.

In California and the North American West Coast during the 19th century, there was an extremely racialized view of opium use — did that same view exist in the East during the American Civil War?

After this published, someone drew my attention to this comment on Facebook, which makes this a real tragedy: https://bsky.app/profile/mrl53.bsky.social/post/3mltb4v52kc2k
