Dr. Ben Carson Files for Alaska Republican Ballot
Alexandria, Va. - November 4, 2015 - Today, Dr. Ben Carson, retired neurosurgeon and GOP presidential candidate, filed to be on the Alaskan Republican ballot for the statewide Presidential Preference Poll on March 1, 2016. Alaskans donated twice than the necessary $2,500 to cover the filing fee for Dr. Carson’s campaign, and the campaign submitted more than 175 signatures of eligible voters, over 350 percent of the requirement set forth by the Alaskan Republican Party.
“I am grateful to the many Alaskans who devoted time and resources to earning our campaign a spot on the ballot,” said Dr. Ben Carson. “I look forward to sharing my vision for the future of America with the voters of this state, and to winning their support.”
On March 1, 2016, Republicans across Alaska will caucus and cast their votes for a presidential candidate. The candidates who garner at least 13 percent support will proportionally receive Alaska’s 28 delegates to the Republican National Convention to be held in Cleveland, Ohio, July 18 to 21, 2016. These 28 delegates will be selected by the Alaskan Republican Party at its State Convention, which will take place in Fairbanks from April 28 to 30, 2016
