“FOOD SECURITY Utilizing, enhancing, and encouraging Alaska-grown resources whether wildlife, fish, or agricultural will strengthen Alaska's future. I will work to improve Alaska's wild food abundance, our ability to process and distribute what we produce, and work to fortify the supply-chain for foods we must import. FISCAL POLICY REFORM It is time to cap spending and increase private investment in Alaska.”
(Alaska Division of Elections Official Election Pamphlet) “State spending must be prioritized to maximize our return in terms of capital, resource conservation, and responsible industrial development. A significant portion of our statutory PFD is being spent for services for some, at the expense of all our children and elders. It is time for accountability.”
(Alaska Division of Elections Official Election Pamphlet) “FAMILY RIGHTS Family rights in education and cultural development are essential. Every child deserves a safe, healthy, and caring home. I will work hard to ensure Alaska is a safe place for children and families. AFFORDABLE ENERGY Sustainable and responsible energy development projects are critical to providing affordable energy to our rural communities for years to come. I will work to establish new energy infrastructure as well as increase transmission potential. The more we can connect Alaska's communities, the more we maximize safety, affordability, and resilience.”

“I'm running for State House because hardworking Alaskans deserve a fair shot. I believe the government should work for us, not against us. I want the full PFD restored and locked into our constitution so it can never be taken away again. I support fixing SB21; big oil should pay its share first before we ask hardworking Alaskans to pay even a penny more.”
