 Hello, my name is Chris By. My party affiliation is 30% Alaskan and 70% Libertarian. Because I think you can make better decisions than career DC politicians. Hi, I'm Santa Claus. I'm an independent, progressive, democratic, socialist. You can think of me as a jolly Bernie Sanders. And I decided to run for the 2020 election to replace Don Young. So my name is Chris By. I'm a fishing guide out of Fairbanks, Alaska. I was motivated to run for the house race. Because if you just look in the water scope, we've been fighting this kind of Republican-Democrat thing for over 100 years. That's been a huge barrier for a lot of people running. I sort of wanted to run as an independent on purpose. I thought it would make it easier for me because of course I had name recognition. Hi, how are you all doing? Hi. Hi. You both look like Santa Claus. I am Santa Claus and had the experience so I figured, yeah, why not take advantage of it? And so I did. I'm delighted with ranked choice voting. Years ago, I took a vow of poverty as a monk and I don't see too many people at the poverty line who are running for public office. So one of the things that the open primary does for us, right? Is it allowed at any Alaskan to run? Doesn't matter if you're pretty and it doesn't matter if you're rich and it doesn't matter if you're politically connected. You still have an opportunity to participate in the governance of the state. And that's the one thing that the old system didn't do because they were gatekeepers that prevented us from doing that. And I'm in a red state here. I've been well-received in this community despite my political point of views. So for me to run for office, it sort of got me interested in ranked choice voting. And, you know, Santa Claus, despite his political leanings as a, you know, Bernie Sanders type of guy, I still like the guy. So with Chris Bye, I was delighted he was running. We got to talk about a lot of different issues. He went out of his way once in a while when my name came up to say something positive and I did the same. I'd have a beer with that, dude. I don't even drink. He is a good dude. Do I agree with his politics? No, that's okay. It was just a nice way to campaign where we all got to sort of speak our peace and didn't have to, you know, butt heads or anything else. I would say the people who don't like ranked choice voting are in that moment of fear. And I don't blame them. Hell, I was fearful of ranked choice voting at one time until I saw the benefit of it. Until I looked and I just asked a one page deep argument, right? And said, okay, I don't have to get approval from a brand wizard of the Republican or Democrat party. Are you kidding me?
