Click Bishop, Republican Click Bishop is a lifelong Alaskan, former State Senator, labor leader, and small business owner running for Governor to restore opportunity across our state. After helping build the Trans-Alaska Pipeline and serving as Alaska’s Commis- sioner of Labor and Workforce Development, Click has spent decades fighting for good-paying jobs, strong communities, and practical solutions. His campaign is focused on lowering energy costs, strengthening Alaska’s economy, protecting fisheries, and expanding education and workforce opportuni- ties so young Alaskans can build their futures here at home. Click believes Alaska’s best days are ahead if leaders put people before poli- tics and work together to get things done for families, workers, and communities across every region. clickbishopforgovernor.com Paid for by Click Bishop for Governor, 3365 Sandvik St., Fairbanks, AK 99709 Adam Crum, Republican I’m Adam Crum, born and raised in Alaska, with a career spent building teams, training workers, and delivering on mega‑projects that keep this state’s resource economy moving. I helped lead our family company, Northern Industrial Training, which has supported oil, gas, and mining operations for more than two decades and put Alaskans to work from the North Slope to the docks. As former Commissioner of Health and then Revenue, I managed billion‑dollar systems, strengthened the Permanent Fund, and helped secure multiple credit rating upgrades for Alaska. I’m running for governor to cut red tape, modernize infrastructure, and cham- pion the companies that drill, mine, haul, weld, engineer, and innovate so Alaska remains the backbone of American energy and critical minerals.

Shelley Hughes, Republican Shelley Hughes is a 50-year Alaska resident who delivers solutions, not sound- bites. Serving over 12 years in the State Legislature, including as Senate Majority Leader, her record reflects getting things done: authoring the Alaska Reads Act, leading the repeal of SB 91, protecting women’s sports, and working across the aisle to achieve real results without compromising her principles. Hughes and her husband raised their family across Alaska, from Hoonah to Bethel to Fairbanks, so Shelley brings statewide perspective to every challenge. Running alongside retired Air Force Brigadier General Blake Gettys, Hughes seeks to restore fiscal discipline, secure affordable energy, develop Alaska’s re- sources, and ensure student success. Alaska deserves a problem-solver at the helm.
