STATEMENT :I'm running for the State House because after 40 years of solving real-world problems—from education to high-tech manufacturing—I know how to connect people and organizations to foster growth and development. I'm committed to sustainable development, educational excellence, economic innovation, reliable infrastructure, and affordable energy. I'm dedicated to forming a bipartisan coalition focused on the long-term success of all Alaskans.
Schools - Our kids deserve quality education. Investing in our schools, teachers and kids is an investment in our future economy, employees, and leaders. We have amazing capability and talent in our public schools, from pre-K to advanced university programs. I'll work to ensure every Alaskan grows through those programs into the civic and industry leaders Alaska needs to thrive.
Jobs - Alaskans deserve good jobs, ones that keep them in Alaska. We must create better pathways for Alaskans to find a career and build futures here in existing and emerging industries. I'll work to create supportive environments that keep skilled Alaskans in essential roles and where students are motivated by opportunities and career pathways. Retaining workers is a vital investment and necessary to build a stronger Alaskan economy.
Energy - Alaska infrastructure needs to prioritize energy security and independence. I'll work to ensure Alaska remains an energy leader and Alaskans have access to reliable, affordable, and clean energy for generations.
I'm excited to build our next economy. I know how to support sustainable development and innovation, while also maintaining and building reliable infrastructure. Let's Build the Future Alaska Together.
