Alaska Governor Candidate Breaks Donation Rules | Anchorage News

Alaska GOP gubernatorial candidate Treg Taylor is sparking controversy after self-funding his campaign with over $300,000—far exceeding the $5,000 limit for post-July primary donations. His running mate Candice English and her husband also contributed beyond the cap, and Taylor added another $40K just last Monday. His campaign manager claims the limit is unconstitutional, referencing a past ruling that doesn’t apply to self-funders. The Alaska Public Offices Commission hasn’t reviewed the filings or received complaints yet. With over $1.58 million raised overall, Taylor’s campaign is among the most funded, vying for one of four spots in the August 18 primary. This money-fueled race is raising serious questions about campaign finance rules—and whether they’re being bent or broken.
