Begich, Hafner, Howe and Peltola will appear on the November 5 General Election ballot.
FAIRBANKS, Alaska - Nick Begich , Eric Hafner , John Wayne Howe and Mary Peltola are running for Alaska’s seat in the U.S. House of Representatives.
According to Begich, Alaskans need to know they have a future in the state. “We have seen, for the last 12 years, declining populations, year after year. People are leaving Alaska, and they’re leaving Alaska because there are greater opportunities somewhere else, or because they don’t believe in the opportunities that we have here. I want to see people prosper. I want to see people prosper here today, but for generations to come, and at the end of the day, we’re a resource state.
Hafner discussed his policy goals regarding Indigenous tribes in the U.S. “One of my first things as Congressman, I will seek to officially designate Fairbanks, Alaska as the Indigenous Capital of the United States and obtain federal funding to create a National Indigenous Congress modeled after the United Nations. Native Americans, Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians, and other Indigenous Peoples of the United States.
According to Howe, the federal government is afraid of the freedom and individuality of the Alaskan spirit. “The Alaskans that are up here that are really the old school and want to do and produce, if they were allowed to use this ground, utilize it, go out here the way that they used to with the modern technology that is available, there would be so many billionaires here in Alaska that the politics and crookedness that’s going on in the states couldn’t survive.
