Alaska’s fisheries, front & center
Meet the candidates
We reached out to every candidate running for Governor, U.S. House, and U.S. Senate in Alaska with the same fisheries-focused questionnaire. This page lists candidates and shares responses from those who chose to participate. Responses are presented in the candidates’ own words.
Our goal is to give voters a clear, consistent way to see how candidates are thinking about Alaska’s fisheries ahead of the election.
