Now, some of the same people who gave money to the Alaska independent expenditure group that supported ranked choice voting are giving money to Walker’s campaign.
Among Walker’s supporters in the recent fundraising quarters are Marc Merrill, a California gaming company executive and board member of Unite America, a group that advocates for ranked choice voting and nonpartisan primaries. Merrill gave Walker $100,000. His other top supporter is Jason Carroll, a New York City trading company founder who contributes regularly to Unite America and gave walker $50,000 this quarter.

Regarding ranked choice voting, Walker has said he voted in favor of the ballot measure that put it in place and would like it to remain in place for several election cycles before determining whether to change it.
