TRAVEL FOLKS IN ALASKA STEP UP TO SUPPORT
| A bipartisan group of over 50 Alaskans from the tourism and travel industry endorsed Sen. Dan Sullivan for reelection, citing work he has done on behalf of tourism operators over the past six years as Alaska’s senator. Sullivan thanked the group and mentioned that he is busy in D.C. working on passing his marine debris legislation known as Save Our Seas, which must pass the Senate one more time before heading to the president’s desk for a signature. The group of Alaskan tour operators included: |

Sullivan has also received the endorsement of the United Fishermen of Alaska, which represents over 60 fishing organizations.
Why no Bristol Bay catch-and-release trout operators? Sullivan made it clear he is smartly against the mine. If they were smart, they should not support outside anti-development Leftists.
It’s a mixed message group with Alaska Airlines on there. They pulled out of the Iditarod race. Yeah, that’s supporting Alaska tourism alright.
This is great. I’m glad to see so many leaders of this industry step up and show support.
In my opinion, having been in business for over 20 years in Alaska and in medicine all that time, Dan Sullivan, is Alaska’s only choice in this race!!
