The Alaska Outdoor Council is proud to endorse Adam Crum

Adam Crum is in his prime, and he gets the best out of spending time outdoors in Alaska. The Alaska Outdoor Council chose to endorse his candidacy in the 2026 primary election to become the next governor of Alaska for two strong reasons.

One, he is one of us, an Alaskan who hunts, fishes, camps, and rides on public lands and waters in Alaska.

Two, the Alaska Outdoor Council’s bylaws support Alaska’s state management and allocation of fish and game throughout Alaska. No governor has done more to regain the state’s authority to manage and allocate fish and game than Governor Mike Dunleavy. Adam Crum was there within the Dunleavy administration when it successfully turned back DOI regulations that would have placed millions more acres of federal land into restricted conservation units, and regained millions of valuable acres of federal land for state authority.

Numerous unresolved conflicts over state versus federal authority to manage and allocate fish and game remain in the hands of the U.S. Secretaries of the Interior and Agriculture, and will likely require the next governor’s attention. The direction set under the Dunleavy administration toward state management and allocation of fish and game needs to keep moving forward under the current federal administration. Time is short, and Adam Crum knows it. Adam Crum supports state management of fish and game resources.
