Bill Walker on Abortion

 

 


Pro-life but Lt. Gov. running mate was pro-choice

Although his popularity was ebbing in 2014, Parnell looked like a reasonable bet to win a three-way race with Walker and Democrat Byron Mallot, the former mayor of Juneau. But the contest was upended in September when Mallot dropped his bid for governor and greed to become Walker's running mate on a "unity ticket," something the independent had been urging in order to have a better chance at dislodging Parnell. This was not the first time Mallot had backed an Independent--In 2010 years he strayed from the party line and signed on to co-chair Lisa Murkowski's independent Senate bid. The Alaska Democratic state central committee, eager to oust Parnell, endorsed Mallot's switch and an Anchorage judge subsequently upheld his pairing with Walker. The fusion ticket did not agree on everything--Walker was pro-life and Mallot was pro-choice--but the two vowed to work together on the major issues confronting the state.
