The New Year has blessed us with new opportunities, new supporters, and new life to an already thriving campaign. Here is a quick rundown on my campaign happenings in January:
A VOICE FOR ALASKANS January was a month filled with opportunities for my voice to be heard on talk radio in various communities. The callers from Cordova, Glennallen, Valdez, Anchorage, Mat-Su and the Kenai Peninsula further confirmed that Alaskans are struggling. They need jobs, affordable energy for homes and businesses and firm assurance that Alaska has a strong economic future to provide for education, infrastructure and essentiaL services. The All-Alaska Gasline is the answer and I am the leader with the knowledge, experience and the courage to get the job done.
HISTORICAL ELECTION
I also spoke to the Young Republicans alongside fellow gubernatorial candidate, Ralph Samuels. While we both agreed that AGIA was a dead-end road for Alaska s natural gas, I was the only one who articulated a concrete plan to commercialize Alaska’s gas and deliver it to Alaskans. A week later, the candidates for governor faced off again at the Southwest Alaska Municipal Conference. The economic challenges we are facing underscore that this election will be one of the most critical in Alaska’s history.
CAMPAIGN EXPANSION
I am pleased to announce that the campaign found a location in Kenai to call home. Stop by and see us in the Benco Building with offices alongside those of our Congressional delegates. That office will be run by a contingent of volunteers jointly coordinated by Blaine Gilman and Debbie Brown. We also welcome Valdez campaign coordinators, Lynn Chrystal and Tom Gilson.
IN THE NEWS
The Seward Phoenix Log and the Valley Frontiersman wrote great articles last month about my vision and passion for bringing the All Alaska Gasline to fruition. This month we will be releasing two new ads. Click here for a sneak peek!
REAL ALASKANS FIGHTING FOR ALASKA January’s fundraising events were highlights as well. To have folks going door to door in the dead of winter to invite their neighbors to meet me; to have dozens of supporters bringing homemade dishes to events; to have new and old friends open their homes and lavish Donna and me with hospitality; to share ideas with Alaskans from a variety of cultures and backgrounds; to have voters changing party affiliation to vote for me; and, to have a family whose home recently burned to the ground donate to my campaign — these things deeply move me. They also ignite me to keep fighting for what is right for Alaskans!
AN ALL-ALASKAN CALL TO ACTION!
This grass roots campaign is building momentum daily all because true Alaskans are realizing that my passion is Alaska and that my desire to get Alaska s gas to market is free of any political or personal agenda. My critics are quick to say that I am a one issue candidate, but let’s get real. If we do not energize Alaska by capitalizing on this incredible opportunity to secure our economic future, then shame on us! All of our problems are exacerbated. There will be no funding for education, roads, public safety and essential services. Talk about generational theft! Alaska, this is a call to action! We have had our opportunities. This election will determine if we are choosing the road to deny those same opportunities to our children, and their children. Don’t sit on the sidelines! Get involved today! The success of this campaign is the direct result of the hard work of individuals coming together with fervent determination to change the course of our state s future.
I want to extend a very humble and heart-felt thank you to all of my supporters for standing up for me, this campaign, and Alaska. God bless this Great Land and may He give us the wisdom and the courage to stand up, be strong and be fearless in our fight to take back Alaska’s future.
