“ECONOMY: We should receive maximum value from extracted natural wealth, encourage small business, and respect the value and dignity of working Alaskans. I support robust investment in housing, food production, and transportation to strengthen communities. For fisheries and wild lands, it is not an either/or; they can and must be preserved while we grow our economy.”
(Alaska Division of Elections Official Election Pamphlet) “ENERGY: We need more and cheaper sources not only in 10 years but now. Between arguments about oil and LNG contracts, let's acknowledge that renewables are rapidly reaching cost parity, can be brought online quickly, and are under-utilized across our state.”

“Dear Voters, My Name is George Rauscher. I've lived in Sutton for 48 years. I am your State Senator. I believe Alaska's better days can still be ahead of us. Though I also believe we may never see that happen if we don't start to take a different approach toward governing today. Capitalism and Entrepreneurship is what made this country and this state great.”
(Alaska Division of Elections Official Election Pamphlet) “As we drift closer to greater reliance on government, we continue to fail our citizens and rob them of their ability to succeed in life and provide for themselves. Government must get out of the way of the private sector if we are to nurture its proliferation which is needed to benefit our states prosperity.”
(Alaska Division of Elections Official Election Pamphlet) “We must continue working toward: providing food security, demand low-cost energy reliability for heating and energizing our homes, incentivize manufacturing, encourage instate resource development and exportthereby paving the way toward family wage paying jobs. These are vital to our future economic potential. I will continue: to remove unneeded duplicity in government regulations, prevent government overreach and red tape which are stifling industry investment.”
