Alaska Governor Sean Parnell Visits with Liberty County Republican Richard Pegues at the Sandy Beach Park Annual Picnic in the Capital City of Juneau

Republicans like Sean Parnell, the Governor of Alaska, have a common sense balanced approach to how government should deal with the conflict between the environment and economic concerns. Articulating our passion for taking care of our natural resources and for prioritizing our need for energy should be an area Republicans do better in in the future. We hunt; we fish, we drive trucks and cars; and we should not allow the Democrats to demonize us as many of their policies would more than double our electric bills.
