Begich Gets Challenger from New York

Bill Bryk (D), “a 58-year-old attorney from Brooklyn who’s never been west of Buffalo, N.Y., is challenging current U.S. Senator Mark Begich in Alaska’s 2014 Democratic primary,” the Anchorage Daily News reports.

Said Bryk: “If the Democrats of Alaska are so wise as to nominate me at their primary then indeed I will be a resident of Alaska on Election Day. Until that time, though, it’s not necessary.”

“Bryk is something of a serial out-of-state candidate. He’s run, unsuccessfully, for Congress in Indiana and for U.S. Senate seats in Wyoming and Idaho. There may even be another state in there somewhere.”
