From the transcript
And I think the state must respect that and protect that. And there's been some litigation between the state of Alaska and the federal government that I undermine subsistence that really concerns me. I would not pursue or continue that litigation if I were governor, and I would want to try to restore a more functional working relationship between the feds and the state of Alaska when it comes to Fish and Game management, and, and make sure that rural communities and tribes have a seat at the table and a voice and fisheries management and game management. Those would be my commitments as governor to support subsistence. Okay, thank you, Jonathan.
