There are a LOT of very, very important issues in play right now that makes the 2018 election vitally important.

Will Alaska continue to have gerrymandered election districts that have resulted in a Senate intent on giving away our valuable oil?  The next governor will be in charge of redistricting.

How will the massive deficit be fixed?  Can it be fixed without destroying the Alaska economy?  Will we ever get a fair return on the sale of our natural resources, whether it be oil, gold, fish, or gas?

Alaska desperately needs a big energy project that will generate new revenue, jobs, and affordable energy.  There are only two Governors who have ever really had the passion to see the North Slope gas monetized- Gov. Wally Hickel, and Bill Walker.
