Ju-already-neau…
Last night in Juneau, more than 250 people joined us at the Crystal Saloon for our fourth GOTV rally of the week. The energy was nothing short of electric.
There’s a lot of noise out there right now. Every time Alaskans turn on the TV or open up the news, they’re faced with an onslaught of attacks and lies about me. But when I’m in rooms across the state, surrounded by Alaskans from all walks of life, from Kiana to Juneau and everywhere in between, all the outside noise falls away.
*This* is why I’m running for this seat. To serve the families I’ve met all across the state who are being crushed by corporate greed. To deliver for the young people who can’t picture a future in Alaska due to the skyrocketing cost of living. For the fishermen who can’t make a living due to our declining fisheries.
I’m not interested in cozying up to the DC establishment. My opponent has that handled.
Alaska has a long history of independent leadership who put our needs above partisanship. Ted Stevens and Don Young stood up to their party leaders to fight for things like public media and disaster relief because rural Alaska depends on them. On the other hand, my opponent has voted 14 times for the Iran war, and when Alaskans tell him they can’t afford to pay the crushing gas prices he caused, he has the audacity to call it an “externality.”
Alaskans aren’t worried about inside baseball when they’re at the grocery store trying to put together $17 for a gallon of milk. They’re not thinking about DC hobnobbing when their freezers are half-empty heading into the winter. All we care about is whether our representation is going to fight for US.
I’m so grateful for the opportunity to travel to communities across Alaska throughout this campaign, and so honored that we’re able to bring it home in this final week with the “Alaska Always” tour.
Tonight, I’m rallying in Anchorage. After that Bethel, then Fairbanks, and then we’re running through the tape on Election Day. But these rallies take ENORMOUS resources. We’re chartering small planes, renting venues, and providing food and live music to rally hundreds of Alaskans across the state and drive them to the polls in these final few days.
So if you can, today I’m asking you to pitch in to help power the remainder of our “Alaska Always” tour. Whatever you can give will make an enormous difference in helping us finish strong – and win this critical Senate race.
Anchorage, I’ll see you tonight. Let’s win this thing.
Alaska first, Alaska always.
