AIDEA KEEPS LOSING AND ALASKANS ARE FED UP

Alaska is in a budget free-fall. Schools are shutting down, roads are crumbling, ferries sit idle, and heating costs keep rising. Meanwhile, the Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority (AIDEA), has burned through billions in public dollars on dead-end projects, and sitting on hundreds of millions more. Alaskans are fed up.

It’s time to stop wasting public funds and hold AIDEA accountable.

WHO ARE THESE LOSERS?

AIDEA was established in the 1960s as a public corporation funded by Alaskans and staffed by the state. Its mission? To invest in Alaska’s economic future. Instead, AIDEA has gambled away billions on failed projects—with no accountability.

Roads and Infrastructure

Energy

Instead of investing in projects that position Alaska as a leader in renewable energy innovation, AIDEA is pouring resources into unpopular ventures that are destined to fail.
