Anchorage Assembly member Christopher Constant announces run for U.S. House against Don Young

Anchorage Assembly member Christopher Constant will run for U.S. House in this year’s statewide elections, he said Thursday.

Constant is the first registered Democrat in this election to say that they will challenge Rep. Don Young, who has held Alaska’s lone House seat since 1973. He’s also the first openly gay candidate for statewide office in Alaska.

Speaking after a campaign event at 49th State Brewing, he said he’s running because of broad disappointment about the state’s economic picture.

“I want to see the kids have an opportunity, when they’ve graduated college, to have an actual job when they get back here. Despite all efforts, that is not the climate we’re living in right now,” he said.
