Alaska’s Fisheries Voter Resource
Fish First, Party Second
Welcome to Fish First, Party Second, a nonpartisan resource built to help Alaskans stay informed during election season. Find practical voting information, learn about the candidates, explore fisheries issues, and stay up to date on election events that matter to Alaska’s waters, communities, and fishing livelihoods.
Alaska runs on fish. Before you vote, know where candidates stand on fisheries, fishing communities, and Alaska’s seafood future.
Fishing supports more than 60,000 jobs, drives billions in economic activity, and helps fund schools, roads, public safety, and other essential services.
From commercial harvests to personal use and subsistence traditions, healthy fisheries remain tied to food security, culture, and the income families rely on across the state.
The decisions elected leaders make about science, management, habitat, infrastructure, and coastal investment all shape the future of Alaska’s fisheries.
That is why fisheries should matter to every voter this election.
STAY INFORMED
Get updates on fisheries issues & the election.
Fish First is a program of Alaska Marine Community Coalition, a fishermen-led organization working to support healthy fisheries and strong working waterfronts.
