Chickaloon’s Warren Keogh has turned in enough signatures to the state division of elections to secure a ballot spot for the Senate E seat. Keogh and his followers made the announcement Thursday in Wasilla. Keogh is running as an independent, and will face incumbent Republican Mike Dunleavy in the November election.
Keogh, who served on the Matanuska Susitna Borough Assembly, has a background as a firefighter, paramedic and a water resources specialist in Alaska. He has also served a president of the Chickaloon Community Council.
Senate E stretches from the Susitna Valley to Valdez, and includes areas to the North of Wasilla, and along the Glenn and Richardson Highways.
APTI Reporter-Producer Ellen Lockyer started her radio career in the late 1980s, after a stint at bush Alaska weekly newspapers, the Copper Valley Views and the Cordova Times. When the Exxon Valdez ran aground in Prince William Sound, Valdez Public Radio station KCHU needed a reporter, and Ellen picked up the microphone.
Since then, she has literally traveled the length of the state, from Attu to Eagle and from Barrow to Juneau, covering Alaska stories on the ground for the AK show, Alaska News Nightly, the Alaska Morning News and for Anchorage public radio station, KSKA
