U.S. Midterms impact on M&A

Hi monkeys,

I'm concerned that the elections may have an adverse impact on M&A. Specifically, Im concerned about the Senate race between Mary Pelota and Dan Sullivan, for the senate seat of Alaska.

Historically, Dan Sullivan's policies have been friendly towards the state's thriving M&A industry. This includes the historic merger between Burt's Salmon Supply ($430,000 valuation) and Aurora Fisheries ($650,000 valuation), the largest merger ever in the state, facilitated by the Wells Fargo, Anchorage branch.

If Mary Pelota wins the race, do we expect an exodus from Alaskan M&A?
