Another of the few Republicans who deserves re-election is Representative  Louise Stutes of Kodiak (a 'musk ox')  who also represents Cordova and Yakutat and many other small communities in the gerrymandered redistricting.   She puts party aside and abides by the way her constituents want her to vote, regardless of party ideology. Her opponent is Duncan Fields, long time head of the Kodiak Republican Party who conveniently jumped ship and is running as an Independent so he won't have to run against Stutes in the primary.  It's a given that Fields is a hard core Republican ideologue who, should he win, will immediately curry favor to get on plum Republican-controlled committees and will caucus with the Imperials. Fields reeks of opportunism.  This Cordovan predicts that Stutes will win in a landslide. My family will Stick with Stutes.
