Despite his decision, Kelley’s name will appear on the November ballot because he made the decision after the Sept. 5 deadline for his to be replaced with that of the fifth place finisher.hosted by Dan Fagan. Kelley himself suggested that some of his success in the primary was due to 12 homemade campaign signs, one of which he had welded to the roof of his car.
Kelley said he made the decision “in light of the Peltola… divide-and-conquer victory over Palin and Begich.”after the two Republicans in the race — former Gov. Sarah Palin and businessman Nick Begich — failed to coalesce enough support to beat her in the state’s first ranked choice election. Some political observers have said that outcome is due to the two Republicans’ negative comments about each other throughout the campaign.
