Election 2022 Alaska Palin

FILE - Then-Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, left, her husband Todd, and daughters Bristol, 16, right, and Piper, 5, front stand as the colors are retired at the end of an inauguration ceremony in Fairbanks, Alaska, on Dec. 4, 2006. Republican Palin re-emerged in Alaska politics over a decade after resigning as governor with hopes of winning the state's U.S. House seat. But she struggled to catch fire with voters and ran what critics saw as a lackluster campaign against a breakout Democrat who pitched herself as a regular Alaskan and a Republican backed by state GOP leaders.
