text: Perhaps modifying the state of Alaska boundaries into 26 discrete areas will help.  The area of what is now "Alaska" will report to the federal governmint their own discrete needs.  Their own assets (oil) will be managed by the 26 new state governmints that will have direct linkage to their own constituents.  The railroad has already helped in this regard I believe by bisecting the state of Alaska for us into three regions:  North Railroad Alaska, South Railroad Alaska, and Railroad Bed Alaska.  (I don't believe it is that random that the railroad vehicle is featured on this year's election pamphlet).  Our current US congressman and the two US senators would benefit from being with a larger regional voting block.
