The Issues

  • Pro-Education

    Access to a strong, high-quality public education prepares our future teachers, engineers, small business owners, nurses, and doctors. Alaskans who learn in state, stay in state, and forward funding of our public education systems is demanded, but it is not enough. We must adequately invest in a high-quality public education system that works for every family.

  • Pro-Union

    It’s past time to get rid of the arbitrary burdens that prohibit fair wages for every Alaskan. Let’s eliminate workplace discrimination, ensure access to affordable child care, promote flexible family-friendly workplace policies, guarantee universal access to health care and mental health services, enshrine dependent leave, and reinstate defined benefits for all public employees.

  • Pro-Public Safety

    Our first responders must have strong community ties and meaningful relationships with stakeholders means stronger, more resilient communities.

    Listen, Alaska is number one in too many things: death by suicide, domestic violence, missing and murdered Indigenous women and people, the list goes on. We need proven leaders who offer practical and effective solutions not rhetoric.

Unapologetically pro-public education

It’s time to fix our broken schools.

Last year, I led the effort to secure the single largest investment in our public schools and I’m just getting started.

Strong support for renewable energy

Data proves Alaska can meet up to 80% of it’s energy needs through clean renewable sources. Last session, I introduced a bill to do just that.

Safe housing is a human right

As a state legislator, my focus is on reducing the high cost of utilities on home owners and addressing rising rental prices so folks can stay and thrive in their homes.

Community centered public safety

We must center equity, diversity, and trust at the core of our public safety systems.

Last year, I worked to increase access to school-based behavioral health services so we disrupt cycles instead of codify them.

Fairness for Fairview

Historic underinvestment in parts of downtown Anchorage have wreaked havoc on neighborhoods. I’ve been active in the fight for Fairness for Fairview and I wont stop until we mitigate the effects of the federal highway that bifurates our community.

I support a growing PFD

We need to close tax loopholes that allow too many to skirt paying their fair share. We deserve a tax system that doesn’t balance the state’s budgets on the backs of hard-working Alaskans.
