Running; Gubernatorial Interviews: Alaska Independence Party
Description:
This episode features candidate for Governor, Wally Hickel, and Candidate for Lt. Governor, Jack Coghill. Both are on the Alaska Independece Party (Independent Republicans) ticket. Both emphasize their desire to have the "People of Alaska" control the state's fate, rather than the federal government or outside interests. State control over the actions of the oil industries and other outside corporations and resources (fish and wildlife, fisheries, land) are important. Other key concepts include: the conservative values of the state, the need for "traditional family values" (i.e. love, compassion) in government and Alaska's position as "the most unique piece of real estate on Earth." Running is a show featuring debates between Alaskan politicians running for office.
