Kamala Harris and her Vice Presidential pick, Tim Walz, represent a new era in American politics. They are focusing on an economy that benefits the lower and middle class, rather than the ultra-wealthy. Harris' experience as a prosecutor makes her best suited to address the southern border and drug crisis. As vice president under President Joe Biden, Harris helped craft and pass the Infrastructure Act, which poured billions of federal dollars into Alaska, addressing everything from roads and bridges to broadband and energy. We recommend the Kamala Harris/Tim Walz ticket for U.S. President.

Robert Kennedy Jr. remains on the ballot in Alaska, despite him dropping out of the race and endorsing Donald Trump. Kennedy's platform was largely based on vaccine conspiracy theories, and despite coming from political royalty, many family members spoke out against his run for president. During his campaign, several odd stories of his past came out, including Kennedy admitting he dumped a dead bear in Central Park. We do not recommend voting for Robert Kennedy Jr.

Donald Trump's repeated attacks on our democracy make him unfit for office. His tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy benefit him and his billionaire friends at the expense of hard-working Americans. Rather than put forth an inspiring agenda, Trump and his vice president-select, J.D. Vance, are running on racist conspiracy theories. We do not recommend voting for the Trump/Vance ticket.

Incumbent Rep. Peltola put Alaska first in her first full term as the state's only House member, focusing on reaching energy independence by prioritizing affordable and reliable energy. Peltola ran in 2022 on a uniquely Alaska pro-choice, pro-fish, pro-gun platform. She also worked to secure infrastructure improvements, broadband access, and more that will create jobs for Alaskans so younger generations remain in state. Peltola was pragmatic and stuck to her values, putting her constituents above her party, voting to improve life for all Alaskans. We recommend ranking Mary Peltola first for U.S. Congress.

Nick Begich has never held office before. He is the founder of a software company and 90% of his employees are based in India. He is running for U.S. Congress largely on a national Republican platform, including calling social security a "ponzi scheme." While Begich comes from one of Alaska's most prominent political families, he was raised in Florida by his maternal grandparents and is not endorsed by his uncles, Tom and Mark Begich. Begich's campaign ads focus on addressing America's southern border, but are scant on what he would do for Alaska. Alaskans needs a representative working for our interests, not someone so focused on the Lower 48. We recommend ranking Nick Begich second.

Jeremy Bynum is noncommittal on a pension system and has not said how he will vote on Ballot Measure 1, which would increase the minimum wage and require paid sick leave. Bynum is also in favor of repealing Alaska's open primary system, which would result in voters having less choice. For these reasons, we recommend ranking Bynum last.

Ballot Measure 1 would gradually increase Alaska's minimum wage to $15 an hour, provide paid sick leave, and protect Alaskans from being forced to attend political or religious meetings by their employer, unrelated to their job.
Ballot Measure 1 is an investment in hard-working Alaskans. These protections and benefits support the working class and Alaskan families. This common-sense ballot measure has hardly received any opposition at all. We strongly recommend voting YES on Ballot Measure 1.

Ballot Measure 2 directly attacks voter freedom and is an attempt to take power from individual Alaskans and return it to political parties.
In 2020, a majority of Alaskans voted for a new voting system, one that allowed any voter to vote for whoever they wanted in every election. This system opened Alaska's primaries, so Alaskans' choices weren't bound by party registration.
That's especially important in a state where a majority of voters split their ticket between parties and 60% of voters are not registered with one of the two main political parties. This system makes sense. Vote NO on Ballot Measure 2 to preserve our voting system.
