John,
Alaskans support small businesses. That's what I love about our state.
Did you know that we have more than 73,000 small businesses located in Alaska?
Our small businesses employed over 141,000 Alaskans last year alone. That's more than half of our workforce!
I need you on my team to help me keep our small-business economy growing beyond 2022. Are you in? Some want to impose new regulations and mandates on top of our ongoing supply-chain crisis. That would be a crushing blow to the mom-and-pop community businesses Alaskans rely on. They are also a huge attraction to our tourism industry.
According to a recently released report from the Alaska Small Business Development Center: "Shipping costs, the rising cost of goods, and finding employees were all listed as significant roadblocks to recovery. Alaska needs to help its businesses transition from a hunker down to a sprint forward mentality. The rest of the country is beginning to recover, and we can’t afford to be left behind."
When you shop small, you're doing big things for our economy.
From agriculture to forestry, fishing, energy, and more — every sector of our economy relies on thriving small businesses. I know you won't let me down in this call to action.
Chip in anything you can now to help me keep small business working for Alaska!
Sincerely, Mike Dunleavy
