Asking for your vote

Over the last few weeks, I have had the honor of running for the state Senate in Mat Su. I set out to elevate the dialogue and help restore faith in the public process, and I believe I have succeeded. My message has been consistent; we need to make sure that legislators are working for all Alaskans and we can accomplish great things if we work together for Alaska’s future.

Throughout this campaign, I have been clear about where I stand on the issues, particularly in supporting:

Development of renewable energy sources to find long-term solutions to our current energy crisis;

Improving our public transportation system and roads;

Making health care available and affordable to all Alaskans;

Supporting our educators and other public employees by restoring the defined retirement benefits;

Enhancing services for members of our senior community;

Making sure that social justice and ethics are more than just a campaign talking point.

Partisanship hurts us. We need to work together as Alaskans to find solutions that benefit our whole state. I will always do what is right for all Alaskans because we have unique challenges that require unique Alaskan solutions.

On Nov. 4, Mat-Su voters have a real choice. I will work hard for all members of our community. I ask you for your support and your vote.
