- Fisheries are one of three prominent issue clusters Alaska’s U.S. Senate candidates discuss.
- Oil and gas development is another major issue in the Alaska Senate contest.
- Fuel and other staples face soaring prices that have become a major concern for candidates.
- Climate change is playing a role in the Alaska Senate race, but candidates leave it largely unsaid.
Why it matters: Three named priorities—fisheries, oil and gas development, and soaring prices for fuel and other staples—dominate Alaska’s U.S. Senate debate, leaving the candidates’ positions on climate change largely unstated. That mismatch matters because climate change is already playing a role in the same contest.
