Begich and Hnilicka: Women’s Rights & Education | Anchorage News

Tom Begich’s Alaska gubernatorial run just got a major boost: he’s teamed up with Julia Hnilicka as lieutenant governor, earning a powerful endorsement from Planned Parenthood Alliance Advocates Alaska — a symbolic nod on the anniversary of Roe v. Wade’s overturning. Begich’s long-standing belief in women’s autonomy over their healthcare remains central to his platform, backed by a coalition of influential Alaskan women who see him as a champion for families and educators. He’s also pushing for a $1,200 increase in school funding and restoring defined benefit pensions for teachers — moves rooted in his family’s deep ties to Alaskan education. With the primary election looming August 18th, this ticket is positioning itself as the voice for Alaskans who prioritize reproductive rights and quality public education.
