“That means restoring sufficient public education funding for all our kids, no matter what kind of school they attend — my own kids attended a mix of charter schools, homeschool, and our local high school. That means investing in our state government so it can facilitate economic development instead of standing in the way.”
(Alaska Division of Elections Official Election Pamphlet) “In my career as an engineer, I've seen up close how underfunded state agencies hold up permits and licenses with outdated and inefficient processes, and I'm grateful to be in a position to help make things work better. That means every Alaskan should be able to count on help arriving when they call for it, which is why I'll keep working to support our first responders and invest in the crime prevention that keeps our neighborhoods safe.”

“I will focus on practical solutions that strengthen our economy, improve educational opportunities, support public safety, and ensure government lives within its means. Alaska has tremendous opportunities, but we must make wise decisions that protect the Permanent Fund, encourage responsible resource development, support small businesses, and create an environment where families can afford to live, work, and retire here.”
(Alaska Division of Elections Official Election Pamphlet) “I believe elected officials should be accessible and accountable. Throughout this campaign, I have spent countless hours walking neighborhoods, knocking on doors, and meeting voters where they are. Those conversations have reinforced my belief that people want honest leadership, respectful dialogue, and representatives who are willing to show up, listen, and follow through.”
