The fight for Fish, Family, Freedom depends on fixing the rigged system in DC.
Growing up, Alaska was a place of abundance. Now, we have scarcity. Many of our fish stocks and fish returns have been decimated. The salmon, large game, and migratory birds that used to fill our freezers are harder to find. So we buy more groceries, with crushing prices.
And I’ve got to tell you, it’s not just that politicians in DC don’t care that we’re paying 17 bucks for a gallon of milk in rural Alaska, they don’t believe us. They’re more focused on their stock portfolios than our wallets.
Our delegation used to stand up to their party to put Alaska first. Ted Stevens and Don Young ignored Lower 48 partisanship to fight for things like public media and disaster relief because rural Alaska depends on them. There was a time when our delegation was known for being strong, tough – as Don would say – “small but mighty”. Lately, that sense of independence has faded, with more attention paid to partisan pressures and out-of-state interests than to Alaska’s unique needs.
