Alaska Democratic Party

  • Sobre Nós

    The Alaska Democratic Party has a long, proud history in Alaska that predates statehood. Today, over 75,000 Alaskans are registered members of the Alaska Democratic Party. Our state and local committees serve two primary functions: they elect delegates that represent them at higher levels by voting for officers and policies, and they work locally to help get Democrats elected to office at all levels.

    The state party performs many functions, all ultimately designed to help Democrats win elected offices.

    • We organize to recruit volunteers to go door to door for our issues and our candidates.
    • We coordinate state-wide campaigns for general elections every two years, and help recruit volunteers for dozens of local campaigns.
    • Through our coordinated campaigns and during off-cycles, we recruit, support, and train candidates who share our values and ideals.
    • We assist regional Democratic committees around Alaska.
    • We send out email announcements and newsletters to interested Democrats about party activities, volunteer opportunities, and events.
    • We operate our own state Voter File, used by candidates to contact voters in their districts.

    We are guided by shared Alaska values that are the foundation of our party; the policies we champion are grounded in these shared values:

    Value 1: Empathy

    We believe that we and our leadership must express empathy to others. Empathy is expressed as compassion, kindness, and generosity.

    Helping your neighbor haul their boat back to shore when it runs out of gas on the Kusko.

    Value 2: Truth

    We commit ourselves to truth, integrity, honesty, and accountability, as individuals, in our actions as a Party, and in how we govern.

    Being sure to always pack out what you pack in, even when nobody’s watching, to protect and respect the land – and never lying about killing a bear.

    Value 3: Equity

    Equity is expressed in fairness, justice, democracy, intentional inclusiveness, equal opportunity for all, human dignity, diversity, and respect.

    Making sure that every community in Alaska has access to the resources they need to live, work, and provide for their families. 

    Value 4: Service

    Our purpose as Democrats is to serve the public. As members of the party and as elected officials, our service is shown by our work ethic, productivity, and humility.

    Giving your first catch of the season to an elder or a neighbor in need, serving on the community council, or waving signs for your favorite candidate during election season.

    Value 5: Progress

    We believe in human progress to make a better world. Opportunity, economic development, science, technology, and social development are part of our mission to create a better world for all people.

    Working to make sure that every community has access to broadband to teach their kids, talk with their doctors, and have the ability to work from home.

    Value 6: Responsibility

    We have a responsibility to leave a better world for those who follow us. We must pursue policies that ensure our resources – human, natural, and, financial – are managed for the sake of benefiting both current and future generations.

    Releasing a fish when you realize it’s too small to help keep our fisheries healthy for future generation

    Value 7: Ethics

    Our personal conduct should express the values listed above. We challenge ourselves to achieve even more than those who went before and leave a legacy of a more just, equitable, and successful society.

    Ethics probably isn’t what comes to mind when you’re thinking about national politics, but to us, it means… staying true to the Alaska way of life and holding our leaders accountable to these values.
