For immediate release
September 12, 2017
ANCHORAGE – Alaska gubernatorial candidate Mike Dunleavy is suspending
his campaign to deal with a health issue that needs his attention. Dunleavy
recently underwent a procedure to correct a condition he has been dealing with
that is not life-threatening but is important to resolve.
While he believes the procedure will have the anticipated long-term positive
outcomes, the healing and recovery process may take some time – weeks or even
months. Until that occurs, his campaign for governor will be suspended.
While this is surely to disappoint many of his supporters, no one is more
disappointed than Mike himself. “This is not what I wanted to see happen,
because my heart is in it to serve Alaska, but this is something I must take care of
now, not later,” he said. Suspending the campaign now will allow him to focus
on a better health outcome.
He will evaluate the situation in the near future and make a final determination
if he should continue with the campaign. Mike apologizes, and appreciates
everyone’s support and understanding.
