## Resource

Alaska’s election is turning into a high-stakes spectacle, with campaigns pouring over $100 million into ads and mailers, often unfairly linking candidates to presidential actions they didn’t control. Voters should focus instead on what candidates have actually delivered for Alaska—like Senator Dan Sullivan’s 50+ signed bills on resource development, military investment, and infrastructure—rather than partisan blame games. Meanwhile, Mary Peltola’s record shows little legislative success, despite her ties to national Democrats who’ve opposed Alaska’s resource interests. Complicating matters, the ranked-choice system and two candidates named Dan Sullivan risk voter confusion, underscoring the need for clarity on the ballot to ensure Alaskans can make informed, pragmatic choices.
