As election day approaches, we’ve been checking in with voters around the state — asking what matters most to them and who they’re supporting.
Tonight we visit the Trump campaign headquarters in Anchorage, to hear from Margie Ward.
Ward is 68. Her husband, former state senator Jerry Ward, is the Alaska State Director for the Trump campaign. She’s a longtime activist in Republican politics, but she says Donald Trump is the first presidential candidate she’s volunteered for since Pat Buchanan’s primary run in 1996.
Rachel Waldholz from Alaska’s Energy Desk paid her a visit.
