Independent candidate for U.S. House of Representatives stops in Homer

Renee Gross, KBBI News

The Democratic Primary Debate this week featured two of the candidates running for Alaska’s single seat in the U.S. House of Representatives. Independent Christopher Cumings from Ketchikan was not able to take part in the formal debate, but he did campaign and mingle with Kenai Peninsula residents outside of the event. 

KBBI’s Renee Gross caught up with Cumings to talk about his campaign. 

A note on this story: The government is planning to spend roughly $700 billion in military expenses this year.
