The importance of voting cannot be overstated. This June, Alaskans will vote in the Special Primary Election for the U.S. Representative seat that was held by the late Congressman Don Young for 49 years.
Get Out The Native Vote (GOTNV) encourages voters to find out more information about all 48 candidates running for U.S. Representative. These individuals represent your communities and are advocates for Alaska. You can only vote for one candidate.
GOTNV strives to engage Alaska Natives, shareholders, and tribal members in the election and voting process. If you would like to be involved with future GOTNV initiatives, please email gotnv@doyon.com.
