Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin announced Friday she is running for Congress to represent Alaska as a House representative to fill the vacant seat left by the late Rep. Don Young (R-Alaska).
Palin, 58, said in an announcement, “Public service is a calling, and I would be honored to represent the men and women of Alaska in Congress, just as Rep. Young did for 49 years. I realize that I have very big shoes to fill, and I plan to honor Rep. Young’s legacy by offering myself up in the name of service to the state he loved and fought for, because I share that passion for Alaska and the United States of America.”
