Fairbanks Mayors Grier Hopkins & Mindy O’Neall endorse Bill Hill
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – July 13, 2026
Today, Fairbanks North Star Borough Mayor Grier Hopkins and Fairbanks City Mayor Mindy O’Neall endorsed Bill Hill for Congress.
“I’ve spent my career standing up for working people and public education. Bill Hill shares those values, which is why he’s earned the endorsement of hard-working Alaskans and educators across the state. He’ll fight for Alaska’s workers, our schools, and the communities that depend on them,” said Grier Hopkins.
“Bill Hill is a man of integrity, a hard worker, and about as salt-of-the-earth as they come. He simply shows up, listens, and does the work. Those are the kinds of people I trust to represent Alaska. I’m proud to support Bill because I know he’ll put Alaskans first, approach every issue with honesty, and never lose sight of the communities and working families he’s there to serve,” said Mindy O’Neall.
These endorsements add to a growing list of Alaska leaders and organizations backing Bill Hill for Congress, including The Alaska Center, nine legislators from bush and urban Alaska, local government and school board members, and Alaska Native leaders from across the state.
Bill is the only candidate in the race with the support of organized labor, including: the Alaska AFL-CIO, National Education Association, The Iron Workers District Council of the Pacific Northwest, United Brotherhood of Carpenters (UBC), United Association of Plumbers and Steamfitters Local 367, ASEA/AFSCME Local 52 PAC, The Alaska Public Employees Association/AFT (APEA/AFT), The Association of Flight Attendants–CWA (AFA-CWA), and the Alaska Professional Fire Fighters Association.
Bill Hill is a teacher and commercial fisherman from Bristol Bay. In Congress, Bill will fight back against corruption and stand up to the billionaires who have rigged the system against us so that we can fund our schools and lower the cost of gas and groceries.
