Priority Issues:
Over the years, I have been clear about where I stand on the issues, particularly in regards to support of renewable energy and finding long-term solutions to our current energy crisis, making sure that our transportation system and roads are adequate, assuring that healthcare becomes available and affordable to all Alaskans and making sure that social justice and ethics are more than just a theme.
Reason for Seeking Public Office:
I am running for State Senate because I care about restoring faith in the public process and in the ability of government to be an agent of good. I believe in open, honest government and that, above all, our legislators have to work for all the people.
