Key Issues

I will work for the people or our region, not a party or party elite 

Protect subsistence rights. Access to public lands for subsistence. Promote regulations that incorporate traditional values and seasons 

Responsible, sustainable commercial fishing. 

We must support our schools. Our children are our future. We need long term plans for school construction and maintenance.

Provide adequate law enforcement in our rural communities. Keep our communities safe.

Protect the most vulnerable in our communities. Increase awareness of and combat this crisis.

Protect personal freedoms from government overreach. Strong advocate for Second Amendment Rights.

Dedicated public servant. Former Mayor of Bethel, and 9 years on Bethel City Council. A career of helping people in our region.

I oppose a statewide sales tax. With our high cost of living, this would disproportionally hurt us. It would also compete with revenue for many of our local governments.

Support and promote alternative energy project. Protect Power Cost Equalization (PCE) Funding

Promote responsible resource development in rural Alaska. 

 Allow local governments and school districts the ability to amend the workforce based on need. Current law restricts this ability and imposes costly termination studies and penalties. Explore a better retirement system for public employees.
