Alaska’s Crisis and Who’s Fighting Back | Anchorage News

Published 2 days, 12 hours ago
Description

Alaska’s young people are being pushed out by soaring housing costs and collapsing fisheries, as out-of-state investors buy homes and corporations hike prices while locals struggle to afford basics like milk. Politicians in D.C. are cutting vital aid like Medicaid and food assistance, worsening the crisis. But Mary Peltola, who grew up in Alaska and raised her family here, knows the pain firsthand—and she’s fighting back with real solutions: affordable housing, tax credits, ending price gouging, boosting worker pay, and protecting fisheries. Alaska needs a leader who’s lived it, understands it, and will fight for it.
