Mike Dunleavy, a Republican candidate from Wasilla, was more equivocal saying it was difficult for him to answer until Pebble goes through the study process.
“Once we can examine that data, then I think a final decision can be made,” Dunleavy said, adding that if the mine is going to endanger fisheries or other resources in the area, “I think we all should be against it.”
“I do think there is a danger in politicizing this study process that we have,” he added. “In the end, if it is not a good project we shouldn’t have it permitted.” http://www.savebristolbay.org/in-the-news/2018/6/18/candidates-for-alaska-governor-shared-their-positions-on-the-pebble-mine-salmon-habitat-ballot-initiative
