Former Alaska Revenue Commissioner Adam Crum is joining a jammed packed field of GOP candidates who are vying to become Alaska’s next governor.
Crum resigned as Revenue Commissioner on Aug. 8. He also served four years as Commissioner of Health and Social Services during the Covid-19 outbreak.
He is scheduled to hold a kick-off rally on Aug. 19 in Wasilla.
Crum is now the seventh GOP candidate to announce a bid for governor. Joining him are Sen. Shelley Hughes, former State Senator Click Bishop, current Lt. Gov. Nancy Dahlstrom, current Mat-Su Borough Mayor Edna DeVries, Alaska State Medical Board Member Matt Heilala, and conservative business owner and political mover Bernadette Wilson.
ALASKA WATCHMAN DIRECT TO YOUR INBOX
While no Democrats have announced a run for governor, a new poll shows that former U.S. Congresswoman Mary Peltola would be the early frontrunner if she were to run.
Born and raised in Alaska, Crum was appointed as Health Commissioner by Gov. Dunleavy in 2018. Previously he served as Executive Vice President of his family’s company, Northern Industrial Training.
Active in numerous community organizations, Crum has also served as a board member for the Salvation Army and MyHouse, a group that works specifically with homeless youth.
He has a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Northwestern University and a Master of Science in Public Health from Johns Hopkins University.

JUST WHEN IT COULDN’T GET WORSE IT DID!!!
REVOLUTION, REFORMATION, REVIVAL
PRAY………….PREPARE……….PROCEED
A MUCH BETTER CHOICE IS WHISTLE BLOWER
DAVE MAXWELL FOR GOVERNOR
WHAT DO YOU GOT TO LOSE??!
Have you officially filed your election bid? If not, what are you waiting for? Do you have a website where someone like myself could look at your specific positions on public policy?
NOT YET ,STAY TUNED AND STAY AWAY FROM THE DUNLEAVY REPLICAS!
Remind again …where was this Master of Science in public health from Johns Hopkins University during China Flu hysteria?
.
Churches closed, people can’t visit loved ones in hospital, forced experimental vaccinations, mask mandates (damn you for that, son), public-health menaces festering in streets and parks, and more, all on Crums watch, now he wants to be Governor?
.
Some bloody chutzpah, no?
.
Maybe he wants to do it again, this time with real power, from the Governor’s mansion?
.
And let’s not forget the Certificate of Need this boy enforces against folks who might entertain the outrageous idea of building a clinic that might compete with Providence Hospital.
.
What’s a Certificate of Need?
.
“In Alaska, if a person wants to spend $1.5 million or more to build a new health care facility, alter the number of beds at an existing facility, or add a new type of health service, they must first get authorization from the State. This permission is called a Certificate of Need (CON). The goal of the program is to prevent too many health care services from being built in one area, which can raise costs and waste resources. The CON program helps keep health care affordable.”

Such BS would be funny if it didn’t suggest Crum’s part of the mob who’d risk your health, maybe your survival, by not allowing a hospital to be built closer to where you live because it might compete with the Providence health cartel.
.
What stops Governor Crum from sticking a Certificate of Need requirement on anyone who wants to compete with any other well-established racket, like Anchorage School District, for example?
.
Guess we shouldn’t be too hard on the boy, he’s probably just doing his part to help split the GOP vote so Bernadette doesn’t accidentally get elected.
