Sarah Palin
Sarah Palin (Republican Party) was the Governor of Alaska. She assumed office in 2006. She left office in 2009.
Palin (Republican Party) ran for election to the U.S. House to represent Alaska's At-Large Congressional District. She lost in the general election on November 8, 2022.
Palin also ran in a special election to the U.S. House to represent Alaska's At-Large Congressional District. She lost in the special general election on August 16, 2022.
Palin was the Republican vice presidential nominee for the 2008 United States presidential election. On August 29 of that year, Republican presidential candidate Sen. John McCain announced that he had chosen Palin as his running mate. She was nominated at the 2008 Republican National Convention in Saint Paul, Minnesota. Palin was the second woman to run for vice president on a major-party ticket and the first Republican woman to do so.
Palin's political career began when she served two terms on the Wasilla, Alaska, city council from 1992 to 1996. She later won two terms as mayor of Wasilla from 1996 to 2002. After an unsuccessful campaign for lieutenant governor of Alaska in 2002, she chaired the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission from 2003 to 2004 while also serving as ethics supervisor of the commission.
In November 2006, Palin was elected governor of Alaska, becoming the first woman and youngest person to hold the office. She defeated incumbent Republican governor Frank Murkowski in the Republican primary and former Democratic governor Tony Knowles in the general election, receiving 48.3% of the vote.
Biography
Sarah Palin was born in Idaho and moved to Wasilla, Alaska, in 1964. She received a bachelor's degree in communications and journalism from the University of Idaho in 1987.[1] After college, she worked as a sports reporter for KTUU-TV in Anchorage, Alaska, as well as the Wasilla-based Mat-Su Valley Frontiersman.[2][3]
Palin served on the city council of Wasilla, Alaska, and then as the town's mayor.[4] Palin worked as the chair of the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission, a governmental agency that says it aims to "protect the public interest in exploration and development of Alaska's valuable oil, gas, and geothermal resources."[5] Palin was appointed to the commission by former Gov. Frank Murkowski (R) in 2003. She resigned in 2004, according to the Alaska Dispatch News.[6]
From 2006 to 2009, Palin served as governor of Alaska until she was selected to be John McCain's running mate in the 2008 presidential election. Palin later launched SarahPAC, a political action committee that was active in election cycles between 2010 and 2016.[7]

Other candidates that appeared on the ballot received less than 0.1% of the vote. Those candidates included: Alan Keyes, Ron Paul, Gloria La Riva, Brian Moore, Roger Calero, Richard Duncan, James Harris, Charles Jay, John Joseph Polachek, Frank Edward McEnulty, Jeffrey J. Wamboldt, Thomas Robert Stevens, Gene C. Amondson, Jeffrey Jeff Boss, George Phillies, Ted Weill, Jonathan E. Allen and Bradford Lyttle.[8]
On August 29, 2008, Republican presidential candidate John McCain introduced Palin as his vice presidential candidate during a campaign rally in Dayton, Ohio.[9][10] During the vetting process, political analysts placed former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty as the front-runners for the GOP vice presidential slot.[11] Independent Democratic Sen. Joeseph Lieberman and former Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Ridge were also believed to be serious contenders for the running-mate position.
Palin was considered to have similar policy positions to John McCain in some respects. One exception was drilling for oil in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR), which Palin supported and McCain had previously opposed.[12] Palin supported aspects of Democratic nominee Barack Obama's energy plan related to encouraging further use of natural gas but opposed his plan to institute a windfall profit tax on oil companies.[13]
Palin was the second U.S. woman to run on a major party ticket, after Geraldine Ferraro, the Democratic vice presidential nominee of former vice president Walter Mondale in 1984.[14]

Campaign website
Palin's campaign website stated the following:
“ |
Resource Development America can and must become energy independent – and that requires tapping Alaska’s vast reserves of natural resources. God gave us a tremendous bounty, and we must not let it go to waste. At a time when rising gas prices are straining the budgets of working families, the first and most important step the federal government should take is opening up the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) to oil and gas development. There are literally billions of barrels of oil just waiting for us to “drill, baby, drill.” Extracting oil from ANWR wouldn’t just help America achieve energy independence and bring down gas prices. It would also create a large number of good-paying jobs for hard working Alaskans. It’s a no-brainer. We also need to continue developing our infrastructure here in Alaska, building the highways, bridges, and ports that allow us to get our resources to market more efficiently. Improved infrastructure will create jobs right now while generating economic and quality-of-life benefits for generations to come.
Self-sufficiency is core to our identity as Alaskans, and the most fundamental part of self-sufficiency is being able to earn a living and provide for our families. Unfortunately, our economy is in shambles – not because businesses aren't hiring or consumers aren’t buying, but because the federal government is standing in the way of growth. We need to end the government handouts to able-bodied Americans, cut through the red tape that entangles small business owners, and let the free market do what it does best – generate wealth for all Americans. Instead of begging other countries to raise their taxes with a global minimum corporate tax – which ultimately falls on the backs of consumers – we should be cutting taxes here in America. Instead of cutting off financing for oil producers, we should be encouraging them to increase production and create more good-paying jobs. Instead of creating more federal entitlements, we should be breaking down barriers to private sector job creation.
Inflation is out of control, reaching its highest levels in 40 years. Reckless government spending and non-stop money printing are driving out-of-control inflation that is hurting hard working Alaskans. Prices are up everywhere, particularly at the gas pump and the grocery store, and the increased cost of goods and services is eating away at everyone's hard-earned savings. Real wages are down because inflation is going up faster than earnings. To get inflation under control, we need to rein in wasteful spending, implement pro-growth policies so supply can catch up with demand, and unleash domestic energy production. Trying to spend our way out of an inflationary cycle is an outdated, long-debunked approach – all you get is stagflation like we had in the 1970s, which makes everybody worse off.
Every life is a precious gift from God, and that includes the lives of the unborn. As the Supreme Court considers landmark challenges to Roe v Wade, it’s more important than ever to ensure that abortion is never codified at the federal level. But that’s not enough. We must once again honor and enforce the Hyde Amendment as a guiding, bipartisan principle. No federal funds should ever be used to pay for or facilitate abortion, anywhere on Earth. We must also resist calls to legalize euthanasia and assisted suicide. There is never an acceptable excuse for deliberately taking a human life, and we must not allow our society to become complicit in such crimes.
Alaskan seniors deserve a life of happiness and prosperity -- which is why it is crucial to ensure that our economy functions effectively for them. While economic stagnation impacts every American, it is especially harmful for seniors who rely on stable consumer prices and can’t afford dramatic increases in the cost of living. Inflation is a nightmare for seniors on a fixed income. The money that they painstakingly saved up for their retirement suddenly isn’t enough to cover basic necessities, and Social Security cost-of-living adjustments always trail behind price increases. The answer is to practice responsible fiscal policy to keep inflation low so that seniors can have confidence that their nest eggs will last them through their golden years.
Alaska plays an extremely important role in America’s national defense strategy. We may be called the Last Frontier, but we are the first line of defense against America’s biggest geopolitical foes. Alaska’s strategic importance will only grow as competition heats up for access to natural resources in the Arctic. Thousands of Alaskans serve our country in uniform, and our state hosts nine military bases. We need to make sure those installations remain well-equipped.
We must also continue to reform and improve the Veterans Administration. The men and women who serve our country in uniform deserve the best care we can offer. The scandalous treatment that our veterans received during the Obama administration – when veterans were literally dying while waiting for basic treatments – was a national disgrace that must never be repeated. The VA needs to operate efficiently and effectively, just like our soldiers do.
A good education empowers our children to succeed later in life. I’m proud of the public school system in Alaska – my son, Trig, currently attends Wasilla Middle School – but I also recognize that parents need to play the primary role in their children’s education. Students should not be stuck in a failing public school simply because of their street address. We need meaningful school choice, including vouchers that parents can use to send their children to higher-performing schools. We also need to support charter schools, which break up the teachers’ union monopoly and allow us to empirically test and evaluate alternative approaches to education. This sort of experimentation is key to ensuring that our public schools continue to grow and evolve so that they can provide the best possible educational experience for all of Alaska’s children. Our schools should not be indoctrinating children in leftist ideologies. Especially when school boards ignore the best interests of students and the intent of parents, we must take action to preserve the innocence of all children.
The Second Amendment is under attack. For decades, the far left has chipped away at our right to bear arms, making it harder for average Americans to defend themselves and their families. This nationwide assault on the Second Amendment is especially harmful to Alaska, where firearms play an essential role in the daily lives of countless Alaskan households, hunters, and sportsmen. To protect the Second Amendment from further erosion, Alaska must be a vocal champion for firearm ownership. We should strive to reduce bureaucratic red tape designed to punish gun ownership and prevent politicians from nationalizing gun legislation. We should have the ultimate authority to decide what’s best for our state. The political elites in Washington DC will never fully cherish Alaskan values – which is why it is up to us to defend our constitutional rights and freedoms.
Government debt is like an anchor around the neck of future generations. Our federal government currently spends over $500 billion per year just on interest on the money we’ve already borrowed, even with rock-bottom interest rates – continuing to borrow more money, year after year, is unsustainable and irresponsible. Borrowing money to pay for deficit spending sucks money out of the economy, costing us greatly in terms of current and future jobs and economic growth. We need to get our fiscal house in order – fast. We need to eliminate unnecessary spending in every category of the budget, but that’s only part of the solution. Ultimately, the only way to meaningfully address the debt crisis is to get entitlement spending under control. Instead of creating new entitlements, like the Democrats try to do every time they see an opportunity, we need to pare back our existing entitlements so there’s enough money for the people who truly need it. Congress also needs to enact and enforce strict spending limits, ideally through a Balanced Budget Amendment that would restrict federal spending to a responsible level below 20 percent of GDP.[15] |

Noteworthy events
Sarah Palin v. The New York Times
On November 6, 2023, Palin asked the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit to revive her defamation lawsuit against The New York Times, which was dismissed on March 15, 2022.[17]
Palin's 2023 court filings argued that her case shows “why the actual malice rule was ill-conceived and should no longer be applied” and that the standard gives journalists too much protection. Judge John Walker rejected this argument, saying, “Why isn’t that a question for the Supreme Court to decide? ... We have a precedent we have to deal with, New York Times v. Sullivan.”[17]
On March 17, 2022, Palin notified U.S. District Court Judge Jed Rakoff that she would appeal his dismissal of the libel suit.[18][19]
Palin originally brought the suit in 2017 after the Times published a piece from former editorial page editor James Bennet. The New York Daily News described the editorial in the following way:[19]
“ |
The article, "America’s Lethal Politics," linked ads distributed by Palin’s political action committee SarahPAC to the 2011 shooting of then-Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.). The gunman, Jared Lee Loughner, killed six people, including a 9-year-old girl and a federal judge. Writing “the link to political incitement was clear” in the Giffords attack, The Times incorrectly suggested the SarahPAC graphic put “Giffords and 19 other Democrats under stylized crosshairs.” The graphic placed Giffords’ electoral district in crosshairs, not the representative herself.[15] |
” |
Politico wrote, "The Times issued two corrections to the disputed editorial within hours, but Palin claimed they were inadequate and that the publication damaged her reputation, leading to fewer speaking engagements and requests for political help."[20]
The updated editorial can be found here.
On February 14, 2022, Rakoff said Palin's suit didn't meet the actual malice standard: "I don’t think a reasonable juror could conclude that Mr. Bennet either knew the statements were false or that he thought the statements were false and he recklessly disregarded that high probability." Rakoff said, "I think this is an example of very unfortunate editorializing on the part of the Times but, having said that, that’s not the issue before this court."[20]
According to Politico, "Rakoff said he would continue to allow the jury to deliberate to a verdict, arguing that an appeal in the case seems inevitable and that the jury’s verdict could be useful to the appeals court."[20]
On February 15, 2022, the jury found the Times not liable.[21]
Resignation as governor (2009)
On July 3, 2009, Palin announced she would resign as Alaska's governor effective July 26.[22]
Palin said the following in her resignation announcement:[23]
“ |
Political operatives descended on Alaska last August, digging for dirt. The ethics law that I championed became their weapon of choice. Over the past nine months, I've been accused of all sorts of frivolous ethics violations, such as holding a fish in a photograph or wearing a jacket with a logo on it and answering reporters' questions. Every one of these, though, all 15 of the ethics complaints have been dismissed. We have won, but it hasn't been cheap. The state has wasted thousands of hours of your time and shelled out some 2 million of your dollars to respond to opposition research. And that's money that's not going to fund teachers or troopers or safer roads. And this political absurdity, the politics of personal destruction, Todd and I, we're looking at more than half a million dollars in legal bills just in order to set the record straight. And what about the people who offer up these silly accusations? It doesn't cost them a dime, so they're not going to stop draining the public resources, spending other people's money in this game. They won't stop. It's pretty insane. My staff and I spend most of our day, we're dealing with this stuff instead of progressing our state now. And I know that I promised no more politics as usual, but this isn't what anyone had in mind for Alaska. And so, as I thought about this announcement, that I wouldn't run for reelection and what that means for Alaska, I thought about, well, how much fun some governors have as lame ducks. They maybe travel around their state and travel to other states, maybe take their overseas international trade missions. So many politicians do that. And then I thought, that's what's wrong. Many just accept that lame-duck status, and they hit the road, they draw a paycheck, they kind of milk it. And I'm not going to put Alaskans through that. [15] |
