Gov. Bill Walker has endorsed Rep. Jason Grenn, I-Anchorage, for his second legislative endorsement of the 2018 general election.

Walker’s first endorsement was of Juneau independent Chris Dimond, who is running against Democratic candidate Sara Hannan to replace Rep. Sam Kito III, D-Juneau, in House District 33.

In an emailed statement, the Grenn campaign said Walker walked door to door in Anchorage’s Sand Lake neighborhood together Thursday night.

Grenn, who is one of only two sitting independents in the Legislature, faces a tough re-election fight against Republican Sara Rasmussen and perennial candidate Dustin Darden, who is running as a Democrat.
