He was replaced with former Anchorage Assemblywoman Fay Von Gemmingen. Halcro's slogan was "ThinkHalcroGovernor", and he aired television advertisements that used humor to emphasize what he said was the nonpartisan nature of his candidacy, his availability to ordinary Alaskans, and his stances on the issues. He was widely regarded as the winner of the several debates in which he participated with Republican Sarah Palin and Democrat Tony Knowles.[citation needed] On Election Day, Halcro received 22,443 votes, or about 10% of the total. Palin won the election with 114,697 votes, or about 48%.
