I spent years working in communities across Alaska — from Anchorage to Ketchikan to the Northwest Arctic and Western Alaska — long before I ever ran for office. I worked on public safety, youth programs, community planning, and economic development.I didn’t run for the Senate to build my resume, I ran because I had seen things broken firsthand, I wanted to help fix them, and I knew I could.A few years ago, I stepped back from the State Senate because I believed Alaska was moving in the right direction. My wife Sarah and I returned to the work that has always grounded us — organizing, facilitating, education, music, and poetry. But we were shaken by what we saw was happening to our state. Alaskans are being stretched thin now more than ever.

Page Intro

I’m running because I care deeply about this state and the people who call it home. I want the younger generation of Alaskans to grow up believing their future is here, not somewhere else. I want rural and Alaska Native communities to have the infrastructure, investment, and respect they deserve. And I want Alaska to believe in itself again.

Lower Costs

Header

The Alaska I grew up in would never accept this. The Alaska I will lead won’t either. Alaska needs leadership that promises real solutions and a clear direction. I will revive the Alaska dream. I know we can do it. Invest in our people. Rebuild opportunity here at home. Use our resources for our future.

<h2>Revive the Alaska Dream</h2>If you believe Alaska can be more affordable, more self-reliant, and stronger for the next generation, we’d be honored to have you with us.Because real change in Alaska has never started at the top. It has always come from the people who live here.&nbsp;The fishermen. The teachers. The small business owners. The parents working overtime.

Priorities List

For years, outsiders have taken our resources, refused to pay their fair share, and left Alaskans paying the price through struggling schools, a PFD in doubt, rising crime, higher grocery and fuel costs, and too many young people leaving. This decline is not normal, and I’m not willing to accept it.

To Revive the Alaskan Dream

Issues

Accordion

For decades, I worked in communities across this state. Building a business, helping local organizations grow, and seeing firsthand what families are up against when the government stops working. In the Senate, I worked to get practical things done: lower costs, stronger schools, safer communities,  and a more stable future for Alaska families.

My Experience

Put an introductory paragraph to your issues page here. It could be about specific key issues your campaign is focusing on or your campaign’s more general mission and approach.

Tom's Priorities

To help build housing, improve infrastructure, expand broadband, and bring investment to places too often overlooked. As Alaska State Director for USDA Rural Development, I worked with rural Alaskan communities to access investments in housing, water systems, broadband, and local development.That has to change.

Keep the Lights On. Lower the Bills. I helped found the Senate Innovation Caucus and worked to expand affordable energy solutions that actually lower costs for Alaska families.My focus has always been simple: keep the lights on, lower the bills, and make Alaska more self-reliant for the long haul.

Folks from every corner of the state are coming together to fight for a better future. A future made in Alaska.

If Not, Join The Fight.

“These days, many can’t recall what Alaska was like when it was working.&nbsp;Back when we were self-reliant.&nbsp;When we all still believed in the Alaska Dream. Now, that dream feels like a distant memory. I believe in a future where Alaska thrives, a future made in Alaska."

My campaign for Governor is more than an intervention to put the state back on track.&nbsp; It is our opportunity to build a future made in Alaska…   A future where kids stay in Alaska and build their lives here…&nbsp;A future with an economy where businesses thrive, and where families can get ahead…A future where Alaska stands on its own again.We can make Alaska self-reliant again, together. Both Sarah and I will be on the road throughout the campaign. We look forward to meeting you and talking to you as we revive the Alaska Dream together.

I know the value of a hard day’s work. I know that resilience is what truly makes Alaska special. We solve our own problems by rolling up our sleeves getting the job done.&nbsp;I have done exactly that as a State Senator, small business owner, and local community leader.&nbsp; I have fought for a stronger economy, a dependable education system, and an energy plan that lowers costs for Alaskans for decades to come.

We believe Alaska should work for the people who live here, not just the well-connected few. Right now, too many Alaskans are struggling to afford the basics. Young people are leaving. Rural communities are still being left behind. Alaska Native communities continue to face huge gaps in housing, infrastructure, healthcare access, and economic opportunity despite contributing so much to the strength and identity of this state. I cannot sit by and watch that become normal.

Issues Post

Tom Begich is a lifelong Alaskan, small business owner, and former State Senator who lives in Anchorage with his wife, Sarah. He has spent his career working in communities across Alaska, focusing on education, public safety, and long-term economic stability.In the State Senate, he built and led a bipartisan coalition to deliver real results. He’s running for governor to lower costs, improve schools, and make Alaska more self-reliant.

I was shaped by the values that define our state: self-reliance, independence, and taking care of one another. And today, I won’t sit by and watch the Alaskan Dream die.

Tom Begich, Made in Alaska

Helping Communities Stand on Their Own Feet. Through more than three decades leading CW Communications, I have helped Alaska communities secure funding, strengthen local organizations, and build long-term economic stability.From Ketchikan to the Northwest Arctic, my work has always focused on helping communities stand on their own feet.

A few years ago, I stepped back from Senate leadership because I believed Alaska was moving in the right direction.&nbsp; But today, too many people are leaving. Too many families are struggling. Alaska is falling behind.&nbsp;This campaign is more than an intervention against decline. This campaign is about building a thriving, self-reliant Alaska.

<h2>Why Tom can win</h2><ul><li>Leading in multiple independent polls, including a +19 point lead in April general election poll.</li><li>Winning projected ranked choice general election scenarios, showing a clear path to victory.</li><li>Best-known candidate in the field, with the highest statewide name recognition.</li><li>Only candidate with positive statewide favorability, according to Lake Research Partners.</li><li>Proven coalition builder who works with Democrats, Republicans, Independents, and nonpartisans.</li><li>Strong fit for Alaska’s electorate, where more than 40% of voters are nonpartisan or undeclared.</li><li>Real grassroots momentum, with over $543,000 raised, from +1000 individual donors.</li><li>Supported by a growing coalition of community leaders, labor, and organizations across Alaska.</li><li>Statewide campaign infrastructure, including field outreach, paid media, and coalition strategy.</li></ul>

I was raised in Nenana by a tugboat captain and a teacher. I grew up understanding the realities of life in rural Alaska: high costs, limited infrastructure, long winters, and communities that survive because people show up for one another.

<h2>Why the Alaska Governor's Race is Critical</h2>This is one of the most important governor’s races in the country.The next Governor of Alaska will shape decisions that reach far beyond the state — from U.S. energy security and Arctic defense to global trade routes and stewardship of vast natural resources.Alaska is one of the most independent electorates in the nation, with a majority of voters nonpartisan or undeclared. That makes this race both highly competitive and winnable for a candidate who can build a real coalition.Tom Begich has already proven he can do that. His campaign is built to reach voters across party lines through a strong statewide operation and a clear path to victory.This race will test whether coalition-driven leadership can win in a deeply independent state — with implications well beyond Alaska.

<h4>If you believe Alaska can be more affordable, more self-reliant, and stronger for the next generation, we’d be honored to have you with us. </h4><img src="https://run.imgix.net/e39950fa-ad8b-4151-a984-79a32c156460/e7958e2e-949c-46ac-b508-096b55a525d6/e7958e2e-949c-46ac-b508-096b55a525d6.jpg?ixlib=js-3.8.0&amp;bri=0&amp;con=0&amp;sat=0&amp;high=0&amp;shad=0&amp;usm=0&amp;rect=160%2C62%2C1077%2C767&amp;w=1500" alt="" caption="" align="center" alignwidth="50" variant="framed">

Revive the Alaska Dream

We need leadership that believes this state can stand on its own again.&nbsp; Leadership that understands Alaska’s strength has never come from Washington DC. It has always come from the people who live here.&nbsp; Leadership that recognizes our communities keep going through dark winters and hard years because giving up has never been an option. Leadership that knows Alaska’s resources belong to Alaskans. I am that leader. No more excuses. Our resources, our future.

Fighting for Alaska’s Kids. For more than twenty years, I’ve worked to strengthen Alaska schools, expand Pre-K, improve literacy, and support young people across the state.In the Senate, I worked across party lines because I believe education is not a political issue. It’s the foundation of Alaska’s future.

Outside oil companies are taking our resources and not paying their fair share of Alaska taxes, making billions off of our backs. Our schools are struggling, our PFD’s future is in doubt. We feel less safe in our communities. The cost of groceries and fuel keeps climbing. And Alaskans are leaving at an increasingly disheartening rate.This decline is not normal… And I’m not willing to accept&nbsp;it as our destiny.

Alaska’s been steered off course. The Governor struggles to work and communicate with a strong bipartisan coalition, and that failure is contributing to Alaska’s stark decline.Schools are closing. The future of the PFD – and even the Permanent Fund itself – could be in doubt. Grocery and fuel costs are rising. Health care is expensive and hard to access. And young Alaskans are fleeing to the Lower 48, never to return.I won’t accept that Alaska’s next generation will inherit a weaker, poorer, less dependable home while many of our leaders keep making excuses.

Imagine an Alaska where our kids can build a future, raise their families, and live their life surrounded by the rivers, forests, and communities that shaped them. I know Alaska can be affordable again.I know we can build an economy that keeps our kids here.I know Alaska can once again be defined by opportunity, not uncertainty.We are capable of far more than what some politicians have settled for. This is self-reliance. This is a future made in Alaska. This is a future made by us.

We need lower costs, stronger schools, more housing and more opportunities.We need an economy that works for working people again.Most of all we need leadership that remembers who this state belongs to.
