AGP Executive Report
Last update: 11 hours agoAG Confirmation Fight: Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski said she’ll oppose Todd Blanche for attorney general, citing concerns about “politicization” at the Justice Department and issues tied to the Epstein files and a proposed $1.8 billion “anti-weaponization” style fund—throwing Blanche’s confirmation into doubt until GOP Holdout Breaks: Sen. Bill Cassidy announced he will vote to confirm Blanche, likely clearing the path despite Collins and Murkowski voting no. Elections & Voting Access: Alaska’s Division of Elections is still dealing with voter roll problems, sending follow-up letters to about 3,000 people removed from the active list; roughly 1,900 remain marked “inactive noncitizen” pending verification. Local Governance: Ketchikan City Council advanced a ballot measure that could directly affect the city-run Ketchikan Public Library if voters approve changes tied to a borough measure, while also approving an electric utility financing proposal for Oct. 6. Public Safety/Travel: Wildfire smoke forced multiple flight cancellations at Kelowna International Airport, including Alaska Airlines service.
