“Over the last two years, I focused on practical results: safety for our children, stronger families, more housing, and a healthier workforce. This year I passed legislation to protect children in state custody by requiring prompt judicial review when foster youth are placed in psychiatric facilities so children are not hospitalized longer than necessary.”
(Alaska Division of Elections Official Election Pamphlet) “The age-ofconsent reform I sponsored as HB 101 passed as part of a larger crime package, raising the age from 16 to 18 while preserving close-in-age protections for peers. We passed HB 110, allowing Alaska to join social-worker licensure compacts and bring more qualified professionals into mental health, schools, public assistance, and child-protection work.”
(Alaska Division of Elections Official Election Pamphlet) “Housing remains one of Anchorage's biggest challenges, I passed a bill that gives municipalities optional tools to respond locally: converting short-term rentals to long-term housing, supporting mobile home park renovation, helping low-income renters, owner-occupied homes, and first-time homebuyers. I will keep fighting for affordable housing, safer neighborhoods, and safer streets.”

“We need a balanced approach that combines enforcement with treatment, accountability, and measurable results. I support stronger coordination among police, prosecutors, courts, treatment providers, and community organizations so offenders do not fall through jurisdictional gaps and people in crisis are directed toward effective services.”
(Alaska Division of Elections Official Election Pamphlet) “I also support expanding Alaska's healthcare workforce, strengthening home and community based senior care, improving assisted-living coordination, and reducing administrative waste. Better care transitions, telehealth, caregiver support, and accountable funding can help seniors remain independent while easing pressure on hospitals, families, and emergency services.”
(Alaska Division of Elections Official Election Pamphlet) “My number one interest is helping with a long-term fiscal plan. Health care, education, business development, and election integrity. Save the Permeant Fund Dividend.”
