2016 AK Senate race: on Environment


Cean Stevens: Feds have violated Alaskan jurisdiction over fish and game

At statehood, Alaska was given jurisdiction of all the fish and game of this state. Since statehood, the federal government has violated this agreement. Additionally, state government does not communicate effectively with Alaskan natives regarding this resource, and, as a consequence, natives look toward the federal government for support. I believe it is in the better interests of this great state to assert our exclusive right to these resources and to open honest dialogue with natives regarding the management of these resources as Alaskans, without interference from the federal government. Additionally, it is Alaska's responsibility to maintain the resource of the sea surrounding Alaska both in management and yield.

Cean Stevens: Fight against overreach of natural resource agencies

Q: Describe three ways in which the state should try to grow and diversify Alaska's economy?
  1. Aggressive distribution of private property to all Alaskans.
  2. Fight against the overreach of regulatory agencies to be able to develop our natural resources in a responsible way.
  3. To develop the educational needs of our children to help them gain meaningful employment, not just a minimum wage.
