III, sec. 18, of the Alaska Constitution, I am transmitting a bill relating to judicial retention election candidates. The state elections code currently does not contain a process for a candidate for judicial retention to withdraw from candidacy. This bill would amend the state elections code to provide such a process. I urge your prompt and favorable action on this measure. Sincerely, /s/ Sarah Palin Governor
