Jeff Landfield: Publisher of the Alaska Landmine & possible 2026 gubernatorial candidate

Jeff Landfield is the founder and editor of The Alaska Landmine Blog and podcast. Since the Landmine’s founding in 2017, Jeff, with no formal training in journalism, has written and published investigative new stories often providing close coverage of municipal and state government. He was a state Senate Candidate in 2012 and 2016, and was appointed to the commission on judicial conduct by Governor Bill Walker, but that appointment was withdrawn due to a scandal involving photos of Jeff in a speedo. As you heard at the start, he is considering a gubernatorial run in 2026. This is Jeff’s second appearance on the podcast – on his previous appearance in 2022 we discussed his early life and journey to Alaska. You can find a link here.
