I'm Adam Crum, and I'm running for Governor. I grew up in a dry cabin on the Kenai Peninsula, helped build family businesses, and I've run two state departments. Thirteen straight years now, more people have left the state than moved to it—about 57,000 of us. They leave because it costs too much to live here. I know exactly why, and I know what it takes to fix it.

I'm a businessman. I helped build Northern Industrial Training, the largest postsecondary trade school in the state, putting people to work across multiple industries. I also served as Alaska's Commissioner of Health and Social Services and Commissioner of Revenue. I know the private sector, I've led large state agencies, and I know the problems inside government that can be fixed to better serve Alaskans.

As Governor, I will develop Alaska's resources, build the gas line, cut waste in government, and make this state affordable again. I want my daughters, Ellie and Lucy, to have a future here. I want every Alaska family to have that same choice.

We have roughly 35 trillion cubic feet of known gas sitting on the North Slope with no pipe to carry it, while Cook Inlet runs short and the utilities down here plan to import gas. To Alaska. By the end of the decade. We've been talking about the gas line for fifty years. Somewhere in there, talking became the plan.

The AI boom is an energy boom wearing a software costume. Alaska has the power, the cold, and the shortest line to Asia. We should be building it here.

Alaska is two and a half Texases. We have more energy under our feet and off our coasts than Texas has ever seen: the gas, the oil, the hydro, the tidal, the geothermal, the wind. We sit closer to Asia than any port in the Lower 48. We're inside the same American platform: same dollar, same capital markets, same freedom for anyone to move here and build.

The window to fix it is standing wide open, and it won't stand open long. The next economy, the AI build-out and the reshored factories and the rewired supply chains, runs on exactly one scarce thing, and it's the thing we have the most of: power, and the room to make more of it.

Executive public-record methodology
An executive record will attach only from official orders, directives, vetoes, signed actions, legal filings, or direct official statements that explicitly attribute the action to this person. Agency outcomes and events during an administration are not inferred as personal actions.
Official filings may be amended after publication.
Alaska's official campaign-disclosure portal is linked. No amount attaches until one exact candidate or group identity, compatible 2026 election, reporting period, and amendment state are captured. Missing values are not zero.
Claims that did not clear the publication standard remain visibly excluded.
Reason: NO_STABLE_ELIGIBLE_PUBLIC_RECORD_IDENTITY_ATTACHED
Candidate-stated prior service and similar names never attach another person's records.
Every profile claim points back to retained source evidence.
