“Former Alaska governor and vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin (R) said Friday night she is running for her state’s congressional seat after years away from the national spotlight, casting herself as a fighter against the ‘radical left,’” the Washington Post reports.
New York Times: “She will be joining a crowded field of nearly 40 candidates to fill the House seat left vacant by Representative Don Young, whose unexpected death last month has spurred one of the largest political shifts in the state in 50 years.”
“In the past, Ms. Palin had suggested, but never followed through on, launching various campaigns for elected office several times in the years since she first electrified the base of the Republican Party after 2008 presidential nominee John McCain plucked her from obscurity and named her as his running mate.”
