Found it and never thought there would be that many in a group like commercial fishing.

A week or so earlier, Vinsel and some of his fellow commercial fishermen had mailed 4,000 postcards urging boat captains to write in Murkowski’s name on the ballot. They organized phone trees to remind friends and crew members of the senator’s work on Exxon Valdez oil spill tax benefits, fishing subsidies and salmon habitat protection. They handed out buttons at grocery stores and wrote out checks.

“They handed out buttons at grocery stores and wrote out checks.”
