“Hi Friends, It is my pleasure to serve you and to make your voice heard in the Legislature! My husband, Jeff, and I are raising our four children in Homer, just down the road from where I grew up. My parents are an integral part of our family life and have taken on homeschooling our children while I serve you in the Capitol. Their love and support keep us grounded. My priority is to do the will of the people, follow the rule of law, and pursue good governance.”
(Alaska Division of Elections Official Election Pamphlet) “I firmly believe in Article I, Section 2 of the Alaska Constitution: all political power is inherent in the people. Government originates with the people and is founded on their will alone. As your representative, I have kept my word. I have opposed burdensome taxes, defended your Permanent Fund Dividend, protected the vulnerable, and worked every day to deliver results for our district.”
(Alaska Division of Elections Official Election Pamphlet) “Together, we repealed soft-on-crime laws, defended the vulnerable, supported our seniors, fought for election integrity, strengthened education by helping secure $140 million in funding this year, introduced legislation to save millions in school healthcare costs, supported expanded vocational and technical education to prepare students for highdemand careers, enhanced our fisheries, defended your PFD, and fought for a balanced budget. Our work is not done.”

“I support increased funding for education, as demonstrated by my sponsorship of KPB Assembly Resolution 2025-19, which increased school funding to "the cap." Working with colleagues is a strength, as seen by Resolution 2025-19 passing by an 8-1 vote. I might add, in 2025 the Mayor and Assembly cut the general fund mill rate from 4.3 mills to 3.85 mills. Alaska king salmon stocks are weak.”
(Alaska Division of Elections Official Election Pamphlet) “Cook Inlet east side setnetters have been closed four years, while king salmon sportfishing has suffered tremendously. Scientists blame warming oceans. How long will it take to cool the ocean? King salmon stocks need help sooner and so do fishers. I believe there are ways to allow setnetters to harvest sockeye without impacting king salmon. Alaska should participate in the battle against global warming, and on the short term we should demand reduction in the trawl fleet by-catch.”
(Alaska Division of Elections Official Election Pamphlet) “Wasting over 20,000 king salmon annually is unacceptable. The same is true of the trawler's impact on halibut, crab and ocean floor environments. Clams have also declined precipitously on the Ninilchik-Clam Gulch beaches. I'd like to see razor clams transplanted from the west side. The Permanent Fund dividend formula should be presented to the people in a public opinion vote.”
