Alaska gubernatorial hopeful Adam Crum has chosen health care executive Robert T. Craig III as his lieutenant governor running mate.
Craig brings a wealth of knowledge regarding Alaska’s health care industry. Having served as the longtime chief executive officer for Alaska Heart & Vascular Institute, he oversaw operations for the company’s six locations statewide.
Craig holds a master’s degree in business administration from Baker University in Kansas, as well as a bachelor’s degree in political science from Southeast Missouri State University. He began his career in the medical field in 1990 as the chief of ambulatory care at the Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Kansas City, following three years as a platoon leader and tactical control officer in the U.S. Army.

He has managed regional operations for various health care entities in several states including Missouri and Kansas. For 14 years, he served as the principal of Comprehensive Professional Resources, LLC, where he oversaw the expansion of multiple health systems and the opening of seven new health care practices.
At the Alaska Heart & Vascular Institute, he provided leadership and direction to hundreds of staff members and cardiovascular specialists.
After nearly a decade of leadership, Craig stepped down as Chief Executive Officer of Alaska Heart & Vascular Institute last month. During his tenure, he helped guide the organization through significant growth and oversaw the construction of the Mat-Su office building, the first facility built specifically for AHVI.

Adam Crum, One of many who can’t answer a question asked by Joel.
Robert T. Craig III – I just have one question:
What was your perspective/stance/actions during The Lockdown?
And what does he say about fixing our elections? And his stance on the vac?
Wow! A healthcare exec! Automatic hard no to crum! Just what we need for the next “scamdemic”. /s
I am interested in learning more about Crum. His positions serving under Dunleavy strike me as oddly disparate, and I wonder what his education and experience background are. He seems to be landing on the right side of most issues. That being said, it’s just curiosity on my part. I’m voting for Bronson.
I remember when oil prices fell sharply in the mid 2010’s, I liked the way Walker handled the State’s fiscal crisis during his time in office, and also the way he tried to get the Alaskan LNG pipeline built and into the market. He doesn’t get much credit or appreciation for some of those hard choices that he had to make. I like Bronson too, but I’m gonna vote for Bill Walker. I may not agree with everything he stands for but this man deserves another term in office.
o A running mate with Adam Crum? Get you gone you Lying, Mealy -Mouthed Adam Crum!! Everyone needs to understand Adam Crum and the fact he can’t seem to understand what fiduciary duty entails. Here is the out of control idiot that first could not understand what a contract was when first hired. He brought in a group that hired for prison work to put doctors in API after Dumb Bell Dunleavy fired the whole staff. Then a lawsuit that cost the state a lot of money. None other than the Lying Crum. He failed to put the truth on his resume and since then, lied twice to the Senate Finance Committee on budget under oath to split the Department of HHS. They told him he wasn’t even close to understanding budget and Dunleavy did an executive order to split the HHS and double the budget on one department. Crime buddies comes in pairs, here. Then the Dept of revenue and someone out of the state had to be contracted to put the budget together for the state. A better thinking governor would have found a way to rid himself of a problem like Lying Crum but the Crime Boss Dunleavy’s decision was to put Lying, Mealy-Mouth Crum in charge of the PFD and what a disaster to the whole of the PFD and investments. Lying Crum was going to bundle it all and put it in the Stock market. On the sneak, no less! Now the loss of a huge chunk of money due to Lying Crum and his inability to make sound decisions and using lies to get out of a mess he created and Crime Boss Dunleavy can’t seem to understand that a bad employee needs to be fired. Does the state need this kind of an idiot? With a partner like Craig? NO! Get you gone, you Lying, Mealy-Mouthed Adam Crum and crawl back under the toad stool you came from!! You are totally disgusting! . But Crum is a “dark horse” in the sense that he is a self-serving career bureaucrat whose first and best quality is his ability to escape any and all accountability. 1,000,000%,
Alaska doesn’t need any more Republicans.
