Sarah Palin announces US Congress bid [View all]

Sarah Palin has announced a run for the Alaska's only seat in the US House of Representatives, her first bid for political office in more than a decade.

"America is at a tipping point," Palin said. "As I've watched the far left destroy the country, I knew I had to step up and join the fight".

Palin made history in 2008 by becoming the first woman to appear on a national Republican ticket, as John McCain's vice presidential running mate.

The pair lost to Democrat Barack Obama.

The 58-year-old former governor of Alaska and fiery supporter of ex-President Donald Trump joins a field of about 40 candidates hoping to succeed Don Young, who died last month.
