GOP panics and spends big over weekend as longest-serving Republican in the House looks like Toast

GOP panics and spends big over weekend as longest-serving Republican in the House looks like he is about to lose his seat.

On Friday, a new Alaska Survey Research poll found Young trailing Alyse Galvin by one percentage point.

Now a GOP super PAC aligned with House leadership is now launching what Politico described as “a surprise final-weekend effort to save Alaska Rep. Don Young from defeat on Tuesday.”

The effort, reportedly in the six-figures, intends to target 100,000 Alaskans in the final days of the campaign.

The poll found 99% of Alaskans knew of Young after his 45 years in Congress, but that 44% have a negative opinion of him.

anyone's mind about Young. But, I'll bet the GOP never thought they'd have to come to his rescue.
