“Serving the people of Alaska has been one of the greatest honors of my life. I ran for office because I believe Alaska's future depends on practical leadership, responsible stewardship, and the willingness to tackle difficult problems through thoughtful leadership, honest dialogue, and common-sense solutions. Those principles have guided every vote I have cast. MAILING ADDRESS:” (Alaska Division of Elections Official Election Pamphlet)
“I believe government should focus on its core responsibilities: protecting public safety, maintaining infrastructure, educating our children, and responsibly managing the resources entrusted to us. I have worked to support balanced budgets, strengthen accountability, reduce unnecessary government spending, and create opportunities for Alaska's private sector to grow and create good-paying jobs.” (Alaska Division of Elections Official Election Pamphlet)
“I have consistently supported responsible development of Alaska's natural resources because I believe our state should create opportunity through production rather than dependence. I have worked to advance policies that strengthen Alaska's energy security by increasing investment in responsible resource development, supporting reliable in-state natural gas supplies, and helping ensure affordable energy for Alaska families and businesses.” (Alaska Division of Elections Official Election Pamphlet)

“Women & Children First! Alaska ranks among the worst for Rape, Domestic Violence, Child Abuse, and Child Well-Being every decade. This is a disgrace which sends negative ripples through all other aspects of our society! Every second Alaskan woman does not need to be raped or assaulted because we do not care. We have a welcome sign inviting rapists and abusers to come and be paid by PFD to do evil. WWJD? Our children deserve the best education, foster care, adoption systems in the USA and our women deserve to be safe! No improvement then no PFD.” (Alaska Division of Elections Official Election Pamphlet)
“We need election reform including: term limits; taxing all campaign contributions at 90% then distribute the wealth to improving the entire election system such as poll worker pay, better security, improved access, balanced candidate access to voters, free valid voter ID, etc. Taxing is constitutional and does not stop freedom of speech. Politicians should only be paid after submitting an online 40 hour/week detailed time sheet.” (Alaska Division of Elections Official Election Pamphlet)
“We need to stop Christian Nationalism which is spreading as a cancerous virus destroying the soul of the greatest nation on Earth. Search NACL and Christian Nationalism to learn more and stop it in Alaska. Revenue can increase by equally taxing all resources that leave the state regardless of loopholes like S-corporations. Implement an income and sales tax where local residents receive a 10% reduction for each month they actually live in Alaska.” (Alaska Division of Elections Official Election Pamphlet)

“Our schools have seen chronic under-funding and flat lined Base Student Allocation formulas that have caused an education crisis on the Kenai Peninsula. It is time for permanent formula reform that embeds permanent changes directly into state law. We need to prevent the State pushing the burden of school funding onto the Borough and, ultimately, property taxpayers.” (Alaska Division of Elections Official Election Pamphlet)
“Funding our schools doesn't require raising taxes on Kenai Peninsula families; rather, it requires the State to develop multiple diverse revenue streams. Alaska's recent budget debates posed a direct choice between subsidizing out-of-state corporate profits or funding local communities. Alaska cannot just slash our budget in order to achieve prosperity. Instead, we need to stabilize revenue.” (Alaska Division of Elections Official Election Pamphlet)
“We know that Cook Inlet gas has nearly run out, and we are facing ever-rising costs to heat our homes. Add that to the housing shortage, reduced access to affordable healthcare, higher grocery costs, and higher cost of getting all goods to the Kenai Peninsula, and our families are being stretched too thin on our stagnant wages. School closures are forcing parents into homeschooling arrangements and leaving fewer hours in the day for work.” (Alaska Division of Elections Official Election Pamphlet)
