My Take
Mike Dunleavy interests me as a career arc more than a personality I know well. Going from school teacher and superintendent to the Alaska Senate and then governor is a fairly grounded, ground-up path into politics, and I tend to trust people who spent real time in classrooms before chambers. Winning the 2018 race after the incumbent dropped out and then getting reelected in 2022 suggests durable support in a state that doesn't hand out easy wins. As a Republican governing a place as logistically demanding as Alaska, he's operating in a context most politicians never face, which makes his record harder to judge from the outside but more genuinely consequential.
