NRCC Statement on Democrats Endorsing Liberal Bill Hill

If you’re covering Alaska Democrats endorsing liberal Bill Hill, please consider the following statement:

“Bill Hill’s fake independent mask has been removed, and it’s clear he is a rubber stamp for radical Democrats who want to lock up Alaska’s resources, hike taxes, and strip away gun rights. This fall, Alaskans will reject liberal Bill Hill and re-elect commonsense conservative Congressman Nick Begich.” – NRCC Spokesman Zach Bannon
BACKGROUND

• Bill Hill benefited from “millions of dollars in spending by a complex web of left-leaning ‘dark money’ groups and Democratic super PACs.”

• President Trump won Alaska in 2024 by 13.1%.
• President Trump has increased his vote share every cycle from 51% in 2016 to 53% in 2020, and most recently 55% in 2024.
