Incumbent Mike Dunleavy, Les Gara, Charlie Pierce and Bill Walker are facing off for the position of Governor of the State of Alaska in the November 8 General Election.
Gara said he is running because everyone deserves the right to the educational tools they need to succeed. “I see the state is one that people are moving away from because they see no commitment to public education, no commitment to an economy that creates jobs, and no commitment in Fairbanks to a university. These things are crucial if people are going to have a chance to succeed in the world,” he said.
He emphasizes job creation as a goal if elected governor. “We can reduce the cost of energy and put people to work and do something about global warming with renewable energy projects across the state, and the state should help with those things, but we need the money to do this. We need the money for our Permanent Fund Dividend that is strong, schools that are strong, a university that is strong. We shouldn’t make people fight between these things like, ‘you get one or the other or the other.
Former Governor Bill Walker is also running for Alaska’s Governor. He said he is running to rebuild Alaska’s economy. “We are literally at the bottom of the nation in our economy. Schools are closing. A thousand people are leaving Alaska. Our economy is what concerns me the most.”
