On Thursday, Andrew Halcro appeared before the Alaska Support Industry Alliance in Anchorage and opined on many local and
national issues–including the Alaska gas pipeline (See video below). He closed by saying, "I will challenge the incumbent and run for Alaska’s lone seat in the United States House of Representatives." See Halcro’s personal announcement here.
Following are some of Halcro’s musings:
- On National Debt. "We are at a crossroads where we are about to burden our children with unsustainable debt."
- On Employment. "When we look to the future, we need jobs that are sustainable–good paying jobs in the oil and gas industry, for instance.
- On Founding Fathers. "Alexander Hamilton is my favorite. He grew up fast. He believed government should establish certainty, set rules and be composed of independent states."
- On Candidates. "We need to elect candidates that have sound ideas, not sound bites."
- On Green Jobs. "Until you and I can go to the store and buy a wind turbine blade replacement and fuel cells, it’s not happening. Until we diversify the economy, oil and gas is the sector we must absolutely, positively protect."
