Big things are happening in Alaska, and Brett Huber and co-host Halle Carter are digging into what they could mean for the state’s future.

President Trump is putting new attention on the long-discussed Alaska LNG project, while Vice President JD Vance heads to Fairbanks as Alaska’s election season enters its final stretch. Brett and Halle debate whether the gasline is closer to reality than ever before, what international investment could mean for Alaska, and why the decisions made over the next several months could shape the state for decades.

The conversation then turns to Alaska’s increasingly expensive political races, campaign advertising, outside money, ranked-choice voting, the governor’s race, and whether candidates are actually telling Alaskans what they plan to do—or simply saying what polling tells them voters want to hear. Halle brings the perspective of a younger Alaskan beginning to dig deeper into state politics, while Brett draws on more than three decades working around Alaska campaigns and government.

They also tackle a bigger question: What does “Alaska First” actually mean? From natural resources and the Permanent Fund to education, energy, jobs, and the future facing younger Alaskans, Brett argues that voters should look beyond the ads, research the candidates, and start treating elections more like a job interview for the people asking to run the state.

Alaska has the fish, the natural gas, the land, the water, and enormous potential—but who should benefit from those resources first?

Brett Huber is joined again by co-host Halle Carter for a wide-ranging conversation about some of the biggest questions facing Alaska. They start with the growing fight over Alaska’s fisheries: trawlers, commercial fishermen, sport fishermen, subsistence users, and whether Alaskans should get first priority when it comes to the resources that belong to the state.

From there, Brett and Halle tackle AI and massive data centers, Alaska’s governor’s race, ranked-choice voting, education, the future of the gasline, energy security, and why so many Alaskans are frustrated with the political process. They also talk about what all of these decisions mean for younger Alaskans trying to build careers, raise families, and stay in the state.

It’s exactly what On Air with Brett Huber is about: two generations, different perspectives, honest questions, some disagreements, and a conversation about where Alaska goes from here.

It’s fall in Alaska—moose season, football season, and election season. And Brett Huber says Alaskans need to start paying attention to who is trying to shape the state’s future.

In this episode of On Air with Brett Huber, Brett digs into the governor’s race, ranked-choice voting, the increasingly expensive U.S. Senate battle, fisheries, education, the Legislature, and the flood of outside money pouring into Alaska politics. He also raises questions about the growing interest in Alaska’s natural gas and energy resources from AI and data-center companies—and what Alaskans should demand before those resources are committed.

Brett argues that voters should look beyond campaign advertising and political personalities and start asking harder questions: Who is funding these candidates? What do they actually want to accomplish? Who benefits from their policies? And will Alaska’s resources create opportunity for Alaskans—or primarily for companies and interests outside the state?

From commercial fishing and declining salmon runs to education, energy, jobs, and the future facing the next generation, Brett’s message is that Alaskans still have a voice—but only if they use it.
