Bernadette Wilson

Former competitive figure skater

Bernadette Wilson is a lifelong Alaskan, small business owner, mother of three, and a passionate advocate for the people and future of Alaska. Her roots run deep- from her grandmother born in the village of Naknek, to her great uncle, Governor Wally Hickel, who served twice as Alaska’s governor and is remembered as one of the state’s greatest energy visionaries. Her family owns businesses that have been here for decades, and have truly built Alaska.

She hosted a talk radio show with Democrat Ethan Berkowitz until 2015 and organized protests in 2020 to oppose Anchorage’s anti-COVID-19 precautions.

In addition to her governor’s race, Wilson is campaigning for the ballot measure that is again attempting to repeal ranked choice voting in Alaska.
