Scott McAdams on Free Trade

Wrong-headed policies have shipped American jobs overseas

As a former deckhand in Alaska's commercial fishing sector, I will fight to ensure that Alaska's natural resources remain the green choice in a global marketplace. As years of wrong headed policy has shipped too many American jobs overseas, it is important to remember that foreign produced goods are often extracted under the worst environmental conditions. While American's have stood to protect our environment nationally, we have not decreased our demand on the environment globally. As your next US Senator, I will work to ensure that Alaska's natural resources are developed using the highest environmental standards in the world and are promoted as the green choice in the American marketplace while creating new jobs for Alaskans.
