US Midterms 2026: Mentioned in: SLF funds new PACs in Nebraska and MaineBackground
Alaskans Standing Together was the 2010 Alaska Super PAC whose money came from inside the state. It is the counter-example to the state-named committees that filed first reports in October 2026, such as Fair Deal Alaska, which got $650,000 of its $850,000 from SLF PAC.
The committee registered with the Federal Election Commission on 23 September 2010 to back Senator Lisa Murkowski's write-in campaign after she lost the Republican primary. Its treasurer was Barbara Donatelli of Cook Inlet Region Inc. and its chairman was Will Anderson, chief executive of Koniag Inc. By 12 October, 11 of the state's 12 regional Native corporations had given $920,000.
The group reported about $1.2m of spending for Murkowski by 20 October, on television, radio and newspaper ads and mailers. Murkowski won the write-in race, which made the committee a rare case of home-state money behind a home-state name.
