“Alaska faces difficult challenges. We need strong, effective leadership to ensure a brighter future. I'm running for my family and yours; fighting for quality education, fiscal responsibility, safe neighborhoods, good job opportunities, affordable energy, and a prosperous Alaska. A common sentiment neighbors share with me is that they don't feel represented. They are frustrated with politicians focused on partisan games, answering to special interests instead of serving our community.”
(Alaska Division of Elections Official Election Pamphlet) “As your representative, I promise to be: - Pro-Education - Education is the best investment in the future of Alaska and our economy. I support highquality education from Pre-K to our universities and trade programs. - Pro-Public Safety - Safe communities are the government's #1 responsibility. I will advocate for first responders, law enforcement, and common-sense policies.”
(Alaska Division of Elections Official Election Pamphlet) “- Pro-Energy Independence - I support an all-of-theabove approach and will advocate for responsible resource development and investments in affordable, reliable renewable energy. - Pro-Family - I'll be a champion for Alaska's families and advocate for policies that encourage affordability, good jobs, and economic growth. - Pro-Alaska - Unlike career politicians beholden to parties, I will always put Alaska and West Anchorage first.”

“My priorities are: • Energy security for our businesses and families • Safe neighborhoods • Developing Alaska's economy • Parental rights in education • Making Alaska the most attractive place to live, work, and raise a family Energy security Affordable energy to heat our homes and keep our lights on is at risk with an impending natural gas crisis. I will use my experience to help through solutions that will keep our energy affordable for families and businesses.”
(Alaska Division of Elections Official Election Pamphlet) “Public Safety If our neighborhoods aren't safe, nothing else matters. That's why I led the effort to toughen sentences, ended pretrial "catch and release", and restored judges' discretion to keep dangerous criminals in jail. Economic Development I fought an income tax to keep Alaska's economy working and I introduced groundbreaking legislation to help businesses grow and ensure good jobs exist.”
