- Alaska candidates in the U.S. Senate race say the biggest issues are fisheries, oil and gas development, and soaring prices for fuel and other staples.
- Climate change is playing a role in the Alaska Senate race, but the candidates leave it largely unsaid.
Why it matters: Alaska Senate candidates have put three prominent issues—fisheries, oil and gas development, and soaring fuel and staple prices—at the center of the race, while climate change remains largely unmentioned. That leaves an agenda gap: a factor described as “all over” the race is missing from candidates’ stated priorities.
