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 survey. This page lists candidates and shares responses from those who chose to participate.
Responses are posted as they come in and 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.
