On Budget & Economy: Out of control spending has to stop; but taxing won't work

Some politicians tell us that Alaska's operating budget has been cut to the bone. This is nonsense. The most recent budget spends over 13% more than the year before. If we don't get our spending under control, no combination of taxes and PFD grab can keep up. [PFD is the Permanent Fund Dividend, a $1,600 payment to every Alaska resident. Gov. Walker reduced the PFD to $1,022 in 2016]

On Crime: Attack crime with aggressive response

The explosive growth in violent and property crime that Alaska has experienced in recent years demands an aggressive response. Alaska now leads the nation in almost every category of crime, making our state the most dangerous in the country.

On Families & Children: Fought for parents to raise kids according to their values

During the five years I served in the State Senate, no legislator worked harder to protect families from government overreach, and to defend the rights of parents to raise and educate their children according to their values.

On Jobs: The only path forward to new jobs is to encourage businesses

Alaska's economy is currently in recession and we have the highest unemployment rate in the country. The worst possible response to a struggling private sector is to impose a statewide income tax, the path Governor Walker wants to take. We can't tax our way to prosperity. The only way to restore our economy and bring new jobs to Alaska is to create a business climate that encourages investment, instead of making it more difficult.
