She has also appeared on television as a political commentator on Fox News Channel, as well as hosting the reality television series Sarah Palin's Alaska (2010) on the TLC network and Amazing America with Sarah Palin (2014) on Sportsman Channel.
In 2022, Palin sought to return to elected office by running for Alaska's at-large seat in the U.S. House of Representatives after the death of Congressman Don Young, but lost both the special and general elections to Mary Peltola.

Abra was born and raised on a 100-acre ranch in northern Idaho. Never one to be scared of getting down and dirty, she enjoyed all kinds of outdoor activities such as fishing, riding bikes, and building forts with her two younger brothers. To this day, along with acting, her great passions in life are rock climbing (she's a national champion who has competed in climbing events all across the U.S.) and the environment - she has rescued and found homes for everything from cats to iguanas, and is a strict vegetarian and avid recycler. More than a just a beauty, Abra's smarts got her accepted to graduate school in international politics. Although Abra is a tomboy at heart, enjoying fly fishing and snowboarding in her down time, she currently resides in cosmopolitan Southern California, enjoying the great shopping, fabulous food, never-ending nightlife and, of course, the sunshine.- Mathew Scollon was born on 11 July 1975 in Sandpoint, Idaho, USA.

- Was married to Jean O'Rourke, with whom he formed a comic ballroom dance act as "Lorraine and Rognan." Together, they appeared as a specialty routine in two Paramount musical films, The Fleet's In (1942), in which they danced to "I Remember You" backed by Jimmy Dorsey's orchestra, and Salute for Three (1943), in which they entertained at a serviceman's canteen. Both Lorraine and Rognan were among the 39 passengers on the ill-fated USO plane which crashed on February 22, 1943 off the coast of Lisbon, Portugal, on which singer Jane Froman was among the 14 survivors. Also spared was Jean Lorraine, but Rognan was a fatality. The disaster, and Froman's recovery, were basis for the 1952 film biography of Froman With a Song in My Heart (1952), starring Susan Hayward. In its June 16, 1943 review of "Salute for Three," Variety opined, "Jeanne (sic) Lorraine and the late Roy Rognan (who lost his life in the Lisbon clipper crash) score heavily with their classic comedy ballroom dancing."
