“Serving the people of House District 33 has been the honor of my lifetime. I'm a working Alaskan, not a career politician — I've worked the pipeline, run a small business, and raised my family right here in the Interior. I bring that same practical, hands-on approach to the Legislature every day. Since my appointment in 2020, I've earned the trust of my colleagues and become one of the most senior members of the Alaska House — the 12th most senior of our 40 members.” (Alaska Division of Elections Official Election Pamphlet)
“That seniority means real influence: a stronger voice for House District 33 and a proven record of delivering for the Interior. If reelected, I will keep fighting for: * A sustainable budget that protects a full Permanent Fund Dividend and rejects new broad-based state taxes. * Lower energy and living costs for Interior families — and affordable, reliable energy we produce ourselves.” (Alaska Division of Elections Official Election Pamphlet)
“I believe government should live within its means, stay accountable to the people, and protect the freedoms and families that make Interior Alaska strong. If you'd like to talk about the issues, please call me at (907) 378-5667.” (Alaska Division of Elections Official Election Pamphlet)

“The residents of North Pole, Badger, Moose Creek, Chena Lakes, Newby, and Plack deserve a representative who can effectively advocate for our district — one who knows what they are voting on before pressing the button, because when they get it wrong, your family pays.” (Alaska Division of Elections Official Election Pamphlet)
“Every decision in Juneau lands on a kitchen table here. A tax shift shows up in a homeowner's bill. A budget vote means a smaller Dividend. Our households deserve a representative who understands how those decisions reach your door and stands guard there. As an economist, I know the well-being of our households comes first. On the Borough Assembly, I did the homework first, and my votes prove it.” (Alaska Division of Elections Official Election Pamphlet)
“Protecting your household means protecting the Dividend, a budget you can afford, and lower energy costs. It means defending property rights. It means roads fixed right the first time. Revitalization of Newby Park. It means preserving school choice where parents choose what fits their child's needs which could be through correspondence, charter, private, and traditional schools. It means standing with our military and their families who anchor us.” (Alaska Division of Elections Official Election Pamphlet)

“I am not a career politician. I have an open mind and focus my priorities on what's in the best interests of the working families of Alaska. I care about people: children, elders, veterans, and families. I care about making sure every Alaskan has the opportunity to work hard, provide for their family, and build a healthy, prosperous future.” (Alaska Division of Elections Official Election Pamphlet)
“Energy costs I will work to lower the cost of energy so Alaska families can keep more of what they earn and businesses can grow and create jobs. I will work for energy security by exploring wind, solar, hydro-electric, geothermal, and the natural gas pipeline. Alaska needs to be in charge of our own future, not a multi-national corporation intent only on profit. Quality education Our schools should prepare students for good-paying jobs in Alaska.” (Alaska Division of Elections Official Election Pamphlet)
“I will work toward finding ways to recruit and retain quality teachers, reduce class sizes, and provide students with the knowledge and skills to succeed. We need to put value back into a diploma. Students who graduate in Alaska need to have skills, not just seat-time. I will work to establish requirements in U.S. history, civics, and reading proficiency. Responsible State Budgets. Our budget should reflect our priorities.” (Alaska Division of Elections Official Election Pamphlet)
