Primary August 18 · Vote for one

What Actually Helps

A primary this size comes down to a few thousand people across the state. It's not about advertising in the end. It's about whether the people who already agreed actually turn up and vote. Here's the shortlist, in the order it matters.

1. Vote, and bring one person

Early voting is already open. The most useful thing you can do is vote before August 18 and make sure one other person does too. Not a stranger—someone you actually know, who actually agrees, and who might otherwise let it slide. In a race decided by a few thousand votes, that is the whole job.

How to vote before August 18

2. Put a sign up

Signs don't persuade anybody. What they do is tell the people on your road that voting for Adam is an ordinary thing their neighbors are doing, and that turns out to matter more than persuasion this late. Corner lots and road frontage are worth the most.

3. Give a few hours

Doors and phones, mostly, between now and the 18th. You don't need any experience and nobody is going to ask you to argue with a stranger. Two hours on a Saturday is a real contribution, and it is the one thing money cannot buy late in a primary.

4. Come to something

Adam is on the road most days between now and the primary. Bring the person from item one—people decide differently after they've stood in a room with somebody.

Send one link

The cheapest thing on this page and close to the most useful. Send the plain-English read on what's about to happen to power bills to one Alaskan who'll open it. That's it.

Two other things

Money. There are no debates left. Between now and the 18th, the only way another Alaskan hears any of this is media the campaign pays for. Decide where it runs →

A hat or a shirt. Same idea as the sign, except it moves. The store →

Or just stay in the loop

If you can't do any of the above right now, this is the one that still counts. I explain something that's costing Alaskans money about once a week, and you'll know before the 18th exactly where and how to vote.

Not sure yet?

Then don't do any of it. Read how he thinks about this state first, and decide after.
