Statement of SAMUEL F. N. LIGHTWOOD,
Independent Candidate for Stale Senate
The following was written October 20 by
SAMUEL* F. N. LIGHTWOOD* Candidate for State Senate*
District E (Independent)
Having observed the political situation in Alaska for
the last ten years it has become increasingly apparent that
the major parties wish to control and direct all aspects of
Alaska’s affairs to their own benefit. I am running as an In
dependent candidate because of the need for a new and creative
approach to government. To those who agree that discussions
and programs are important for the growth and harmony
of all the residents of the state, I extend an invitation to join me,
and to consider yourselves members of the Alaska Party.
I have lived and worked in different places in Alaska,
making friends and becoming acquainted with economic and
cultural problems. I have done survey work, taught school for
the Bureau of Indian Affairs and the State. My experiences
in the Anchorage area in an architect’s office and in construction
work have lead to my present full time business as co-owner
operator of the Caribou Cabin Company of Mile 107, Glenn
Highway. I came to Alaska in 1950 and have since acquired
a family and property, I keep abreast of national and local
events through a wide variety of sources.
Guiding my bid for votes in November is my philosophy
that Alaska must preserve those qualities which have made
it a home and haven for us all. These things which we now
enjoy: the space, the closeness to nature, the intimate quality
of our interpersonal relationships in business, civic activities,
and recreation, the hospitality and the creative individual
expression are the things we most enjoy.
To preserve these things we must provide greater oppor
tunities for participation in government; that is, to improve
our democratic tradition, by having open primaries, less cen
tralized government control and an accessable capitol. To allow
adequate living conditions, the exploitation and restrictions
must be curtailed that are now emposed by the transportation
facilities, marketing, labor, and land policies. The economic
climate must be created so that all Alaskans can enjoy ade
quate health, diet, housing, and recreation in an environment
suitable for raising a family and experiencing personal ful
fillment and accomplishment.
My years at Chignik Lagoon, a fishing village on the Alaska
Peninsula, Gird wood, a resort area; the Copper River country,
an interior Indian and homesteading area; and near Anchorage
and Palmer have given me experience and first hand knowledge
of problms of these areas. Past residence in the interior and
Bering Sea area gives me a general acquaintance with other
Alaskan problems. , >, .
As a senator I will expend my energy toward solving the
problems this next legislature will face. I will have constantly
in mind the well being of all Alaska, particulary the South
Central District because I truly represent not a part, but the
entire area.
