“What this bill (does) I see as bringing an equal voice to the table for subsistence users, not only in my district but in rural Alaska and all of Alaska. I see this as a positive step forward to bringing sustainability to the fisheries for subsistence users as well.”
(Alaska Beacon) “An issue for my region on the Board of Fish has been the absence of representation at all from my region. So would there be a way to parse this even further into also assuring some geographic representation on the board?”

“I was born and raised in Bethel and on the Kuskokwim River. As a former State Representative, Bethel City Council member, employee of YKHC and Government Relations Manager at AVCP, I have worked for tribal governments and local communities, and with state leaders to deliver results for our region.”
(Alaska Division of Elections Official Election Pamphlet) “I have a record of passing legislation that established dedicated investigators for the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Persons (MMIP) crisis. I increased funding for VPSO positions, secured funding for domestic violence shelters, advocated for rural water and sewer infrastructure, and supported higher funding for our schools through infrastructure projects and the Base Student Allocation (BSA).”
(Alaska Division of Elections Official Election Pamphlet) “My priorities include protecting subsistence by putting rural users first, actually delivering on public safety for the YK Delta, strengthening emergency preparedness for Arctic Typhoons and other disasters, expanding housing and childcare opportunities, lowering the cost of living, and creating opportunities for young people to build their future here. As the youngest candidate in this race, I have a vested interest in the future of our region.”

“I'm running for office for several reasons. Our kids and grandkids future in the bush is my main concern. Their future is in jeopardy due to gross mishandling of the budget by the Legislature. The last ten years the lower and middle income families have paid for out of control government growth paid for with the peoples PFD. The top 20% laugh their way to the bank while our Districts Representatives make over a $1000 a day to vote and steal from us.”
(Alaska Division of Elections Official Election Pamphlet) “The worst thieves come from Western Alaska. They belong to the same political party, join Binding Caucuses selling their integrity for a Finance committee seat or such. These legislators have guaranteed at least a Billion and half deficit each & every year for the next decade. They also guarantee new income or sales taxes. They stole $1.95 Billion from our $2.6 Billion PFD this year. Not babies or little elderly ladies are safe from our elected officials. They want you on welfare.”
(Alaska Division of Elections Official Election Pamphlet) “They depend on poverty to keep you in your proper place, which is broke and dependent on them. Break the cycle. Send an old guy not looking for a career, wanting Term Limits, as big a PFD as possible, spending caps and rural subsistence priority and moving the legislature to Anchorage. My message hasn't changed in decades. We're in the worst financial shape we've been in. It's the people that we keep sending to Juneau that got us to here. Vote Willy!”
