STATEMENT::We are at a turning point in Alaska, where shaping a vision for our
future through effective leadership and responsible government is
critical. It is important for our future to have representation that will
fight for our values. I will listen to your needs and work to develop
solutions that work for all Alaskans.
To meet the educational needs of our children, I will advocate for
quality education outcomes and support innovative approaches that
set our kids on a path to success. Let’s prepare Alaska’s children for
a thriving Alaskan economy.
We have tremendous opportunities for energy development; when
developed, we will have energy independence, sustainable and
affordable power, new industries, and improved job opportunities.
Finding solutions for housing is another key priority. Ensuring
affordable, safe, and accessible housing options will help retain our
workforce and strengthen our communities.
The Alaska Marine Highway System is a vital part of our livelihoods
and economy. Solutions for the long-term stability include
modernizing the system to meet our ongoing needs.
Our fishing industry is the lifeblood of our coastal communities, and I
am committed to protecting it against threats that impact commercial
and subsistence fishing.
My experiences as a Veteran, working as a leader in energy, serving
in local government, and many years of working with diverse groups
of people have prepared me for this challenge. I humbly ask for your
support in bringing forward leadership and vision for our future.
