KODIAK, Alaska (AP) — Republican U.S. Senate candidate Dan Sullivan was grilled on his positions on fishing issues during a debate with Democratic Sen. Mark Begich in one of the largest ports in the U.S.
Begich entered the debate, centered on fisheries issues, with the endorsement of fishing organizations, including United Fishermen of Alaska. At one point, Begich said he wouldn’t mind answering some of the questions directed solely to Sullivan.
Sullivan said he opposes genetically modified fish; that is also Begich’s position.
Sullivan said he has never supported the Pebble Mine, a massive gold-and-copper prospect near the headwaters of a world-premier salmon fishery. But he said he supports having a process in place for projects like that to be vetted.
Begich called the project the wrong mine in the wrong place.
