How can a candidate say he is an Alaskan and wants to support Alaskans, when he won’t even meet with Alaskans to debate/discuss the bread and butter issues that affect them every working day? Did Dan Sullivan decide to attend the fishing debate only after he got wide-spread criticism? Did he have to be told just how important the fishing industry is to Alaska? From the get-go this debate should have been a priority, not an afterthought. Whether it’s Dan Sullivan or Don Young or Gov. Parnell, skipping debates is an arrogant affront to our election process in the state and a slap in the face to voters. Do they think they can buy our votes and trust without explaining their positions, without listening to Alaskans’ concerns for today and the future?
Mark Begich, IS an Alaskan who has worked tirelessly for Alaska: getting more drilling in the Arctic, sustaining fisheries, assuring Alaska’s key role in the defense of America. He criss-crosses the state to learn what Alaskans need and want. He knows there’s always more that can be done, and he’s ready to do it.
