House Seat 12: Butte, Chugiak, Fairview

Tilton - Wehmhoff

Cathy Tilton

A local businesswoman and former legislative aide, Tilton overcame Mat-Su Borough Assemblyman Ron Arvin to win the Republican nomination to take over for Stoltze in the house.

Tilton favors budget stability and would favor auditing departments like the Department of Health and Human Services, which has, by her count, over 100 different offices.

Tilton believes oil tax reform has worked to put people back to work, and said she’s running out of dedication to Alaska.

Gretchen Wehmhoff

The Democrat in the race, Wehmhoff grew up in Anchorage and taught at public schools for 24 years.

She said she sees herself as an advocate for education and wants to provide a counterpoint to a Republican-dominated legislature.

Wehmhoff favors reforms to the budgeting process for schools and more facilities for senior citizens as well as commuter rail projects.
