Nonpartisan files for Anchorage state Senate seat

Nicholas Danger, a 70-year-old nonpartisan candidate, filed to run for Alaska State Senate District G representing Anchorage. He supports budget control, full Permanent Fund Dividend payments, and moving the state capital to Willow.

Danger has lived in Alaska for 47 years, including in Girdwood, Eagle River and Anchorage. He works as a health, safety and environmental manager at North Star Terminals and Stevedores. He served two terms on the Girdwood Board of Supervisors.

"We need to get control of the budget and a full PFD and move the Capitol to Willow like it was voted on many years ago," Danger said in his candidate statement. "Citizens need easy access to the Senate and Representatives."

Danger described himself as "a conservative common sense Christian Alaskan" and "a regular guy wanting to do the right thing."

Alaska voters approved relocating the capital to Willow in a 1976 initiative. Subsequent funding measures failed and the capital remained in Juneau. The Alaska Division of Elections maintains the official candidate list for the 2026 cycle.
