I agree! Alaskans should develop Alaska's resources for the benefit of all Alaskans. This has been decades in the making. It's time to move forward.

It’s not the Last Great Race, but this race for Alaska’s Senate seat needs your attention too!
Thanks to everyone who took some time during Iditarod weekend to talk with me about taking back our state and securing fish, family, and freedom for our future.
What a wonderful weekend! Good luck to all the mushers and their teams in their 1,000-mile journeys to Nome ❄️
It's a special day in Alaska. Thank you Iditarod and everyone who is part of it!
Alaska deserves a senator who doesn’t vote to kick Alaskans off of their healthcare.
Repost this if you support term limits.
Alaskans rely on things like Medicaid, public media, and disaster relief. Especially rural Alaska. We deserve a senator who will stand up and fight for them.
The things we need to survive are getting too expensive to afford and the politicians in DC aren’t doing a damn thing about it.
I’m fed up by self-dealing DC politicians looking out for themselves and their billionaire donors while ignoring the rest of us.
It’s time for term limits.
Fish stocks > Politicians trading stocks
Factory trawlers are destroying our fisheries and leaving Alaskans to deal with the consequences.
Alaskans rely on fishing to feed their families. We should be reining in the trawl industry, not restricting Alaskans ability to put food on their tables and fill their freezers.
Healthcare already costs more in Alaska than the rest of the country – but DC politicians are raising those costs for tens of thousands of Alaskans while cutting deals for themselves. This system is so broken.

The Last Great Race kicks off next weekend.
We’re celebrating in Anchorage on Saturday after the Iditarod Ceremonial Start! Join us!
While grocery costs, energy bills, and housing prices shoot up here at home, politicians and their billionaire donors are in DC self-dealing and padding their stock portfolios.
They don’t care about us.
If we have members of our small delegation more focused on delivering for themselves and their donors than delivering for regular Alaskans, we will lose everything that makes our state great.
Our fish are being taken and our freezers aren’t getting filled. Alaskans want to stop factory trawling from wrecking our fisheries, but DC people and their corporate donors are standing in the way. We can’t save our fisheries until we fix this rigged system.
Thanks to Stosh and Ana for opening up their home in Bethel. We shared delicious moose soup and a lovely cake topped with blueberries and salmonberries!
It baffles me that some DC people are still standing in the way of the PRO-Act. This is what happens when politicians put their millionaire and billionaire donors above workers.
Alaska deserves a senator who cares more about fish stocks than stock portfolios.
DC people do not care that we're paying $17 for a gallon of milk in rural Alaska. They don’t even believe us.
The Lower 48 is feeling what Alaskans have dealt with far too long. But politicians and their corporate donors care more about their stock portfolios than your wallet.
Alaska depends on public media and disaster relief.
Alaska's delegation should be able to put Alaska first and actually fight for them.
See you tomorrow, Bethel ❤️
We need term limits. These self-serving career politicians will not save us.
Alaskans serve our country at the highest rate. My sons included. When millionaires and billionaires in DC are trying to cut veterans’ benefits while so many are unhoused and untreated, the system is totally failing. Our veterans deserve so much better.
The majority of halibut is killed, not consumed. One of our most important fish is constantly getting caught up in bycatch from factory trawlers. At least half of what’s thrown over doesn’t survive. How can anyone think this is sustainable?
Join us for a meet and greet in Bethel this Sunday!
I grew up on the Kuskokwim. I’ve fished in the Yukon, Norton Sound, and Bristol Bay. I’ve seen the destruction of our fisheries firsthand, and I’m running to take on the self-serving system in DC that’s letting it happen.
If we want to save our fisheries and bring abundance back to Alaska, rural Alaska needs representation on the North Pacific Fishery Management Council.
So it’s difficult for anyone to match up to the work that she did, but we can do our best to follow her lead.
Her values are Alaska’s values. We care about each other and look out for our neighbors. We’ll move our state forward together.
Happy Elizabeth Peratrovich Day, Alaska!
Elizabeth Peratrovich was a Tlingit civil rights leader and Grand President of the Alaska Native Sisterhood who was pivotal in the passage of the Alaska Anti-Discrimination Act of 1945, the nation’s first anti-discrimination law – 20 years before the Civil Rights Act!
