Taxes, economy, workers, agriculture, and affordability

Candidate position

Past administrations have put Alaskans in danger of starving because we don't have enough farms. If there is a war in the lower states or Yellowstone Volcano goes off, destroying most crop land, or an EMP from the sun destroys the grid, no food will be shipped to Alaska. If Russia or China detonates a nuke over the U.S., it could also destroy the grid and render all tractors useless. China and billionaires like Bill Gates have been buying up farmland, and I don't believe their intentions are benevolent.
