While the spotlight has been on the Senate race in Alaska, one fresh young candidate, Forrest Dunbar, has been quietly getting himself around the state and connecting with Alaskans.
30-year old Forrest Dunbar from Cordova with the big smile, positive attitude, savvy knowledge of state and national issues, is demonstrating that hard campaigning and a respectful attitude toward Alaskans, all of them, can, even with no initial name recognition and lack of big money in a campaign, actually beat the 81-year old, twenty-plus term Alaska Congressman, Rep. Don Young.
If you can help in any way, small donation, get out the vote volunteer time, now is the time to step up. Here's the official campaign website: https://www.forrestforalaska.com/
Fight for Veterans: Reckless cuts to veterans' benefits & healthcare, like those in the Don Young/Paul Ryan Budget, are unacceptable. Those who put their lives on the line for our country have earned our support, and I will keep the promises we have made to them.
Stand up for Women and Families: Women’s rights means equal pay for equal work, access to affordable healthcare, and control over personal medical decisions. This shouldn't be a partisan issue. When women are empowered our nation is strong.
Support Well-Paying Jobs: Alaska needs a Congressman who will preserve middle class jobs, push for further oil and gas development, and invest in the infrastructure needed for the sustainable, high-tech jobs of the future.
Run, Forrest, Run
