Read More About Alaska Candidates

The Alaska Federation of Natives produced a Voter’s Guide, with the goal  to ensure that Alaska Native voters are well informed on election day.

The AFN Voters Guide is a great resource to learn about candidates running for the U.S. House of Representatives and for governor of Alaska. Candidates provide answers to a comprehensive questionnaire that’s focused on Native and rural issues.

Candidates were asked about a variety of topics including:

  • Economic Development
  • Voting Rights
  • Subsistence
  • Education
  • State | Tribal Relations
  • Energy
  • Public Safety | Justice

U.S. House of Representatives candidates include:

Ballot Measure 1

Ballot Measure 1 in the upcoming Alaska general election seeks to eliminate Alaska’s current science-based fish habitat protections and replace them with red tape and complex regulations, threatening Alaska’s economy without solving the problem. Sealaska has been actively engaged in supporting healthy salmon habitat in Alaska for decades by helping develop policies and recommending actions toward ensuring these salmon runs remain healthy and viable into the future.
