Now here’s a bit more on how I came to this decision.
When I was growing up in Bethel, salmon fishing with my father in the summers and dog mushing in the winters, Alaska was a place of abundance.
Now, all across Alaska, we have scarcity.
Multi-national companies are trawling our waters and decimating our fish stocks. The moose, caribou, and migratory birds that used to fill our freezers are harder to find.
So we buy more groceries, where the prices are just crushing Alaska families.
And I've got to tell you, DC people do not care that we are paying nearly 20 bucks for a gallon of fuel. They don’t even believe us.
They're focused on their own wallets – not ours.
And when they actually work together on something, it’s usually to help themselves. The rigged system in DC is shutting down Alaska and hurting all of us while politicians and their millionaire and billionaire donors feather their own nest.
It’s why our prices keep rising, all while the healthcare and services Alaskans rely on get gutted.
I'm done with politicians getting richer while things get tougher here at home.
My agenda for Alaska will always be: fish, family, freedom. These values have been the core values of my campaigns since the very beginning.
But if we’re going to secure Alaska’s future, we need another priority: fighting corruption.
I'm running for Alaska's Senate seat because it is the fight for our future.
This is going to be the closest and most consequential Senate race this year, and I cannot do this alone. There is only one way we’ll be able to flip this seat… and that is together.
So I am asking:
Please split a contribution between The Majority Rules and my campaign for the U.S. Senate today as we begin the general election. We are looking for a huge number of day one donors to get our general election campaign off to a strong start and put us in a position to win. No donation is too small. They will all add up fast to give us the resources we need to WIN in November.
