Appearing in a season of stupid ads created with AI, it is unbelievably stupid. Cynthia Henry, the GOP national committeewoman, is a deputy treasurer of the group, along with GOP activist Fred Vreeman. Smith is the treasurer.

Lisa Murkowski and the confirmation of Todd Blanche. But they failed to even mention the name of Alaska’s junior senator, who is running for reelection and is more important in this debate than Murkowski because Sullivan will cast the deciding vote to make Blanche the attorney general. ## [Trump shakedown of mining company led to approval of Ambler road permit](https://www.dermotcole.com/reportingfromalaska/2026/8/5/ambler-mining-promoter-had-to-surrender-a-share-of-company-to-get-federal-permit) _2026-08-06 · Dermot Cole · Reporting From Alaska_ Sens.

They will reinvent the role of the lieutenant governor. It almost never works out.

Mike Dunleavy meandered across a range of international topics with vague and superficial comments that Donald Trump would approve on Greenland, the war in Iran, relations with Canada and more. What he said about the cost of the gasline, does not bode well for the project. Asked about the fall elections and… ## ['Yeah, that's bullshit. OK? You could quote me. That's bullshit."---Gov.

Nothing the Legislature could do this summer will change the energy picture for this winter and beyond, contrary to the claims by Dunleavy and his allies. ## [Cynthia Henry didn’t mention how Trump raised energy prices in Fairbanks](https://www.dermotcole.com/reportingfromalaska/2026/7/29/cynthia-henry-leads-the-blame-game) _2026-07-29 · Dermot Cole · Reporting From Alaska_ Cynthia Henry, one of the leaders of the Republican Party in Alaska, has joined the “Build the Line!” cheerleading squad, now claiming that members of the Senate majority are the only thing standing between Alaskans and a blissful era of cheap energy.

It’s bizarre that Sullivan would not address an audience of loyal Republicans—including what Sullivan called an “all-star” list of local co-hosts—about how proud he is to stand with Trump. ## [State improperly deletes naturalized citizens from voter rolls](https://www.dermotcole.com/reportingfromalaska/2026/7/24/state-illegally-deletes-naturalized-citizens-from-voter-rolls) _2026-07-25 · Dermot Cole · Reporting From Alaska_ The lieutenant governor has only one job—other than looking after the state seal—and Nancy Dahlstrom isn’t getting the job done in supervising the Division of Elections.
