Alaska is a [[Republican]] stronghold with a [[libertarian]] streak.<ref>http://election.nationaljournal.com/states/ak.htm</ref> [[George W. Bush]] carried the state 59%-28% in 2000, 61%-36% in 2004, and [[John McCain]] 59%-38% in 2008. The legislature has split control, with Democrats in control of the state senate. In 2008 [[Mark Begich]] became the first [[Democrat]] elected to [[Congress]] from Alaska since 1974. Due to [[Ranked Choice Voting]], which passed in 2020, the state very quickly had a leftward shift, with Alaska's At-Large district flipping and RINO Lisa Murkowski winning re-election in 2022.
