My Goals as Your Senator:
  • Better Schools - Because a lifelong, quality education should be available to every Alaskan.
  • Good Jobs - We need family wage jobs and small business opportunities for all.
  • Public Safety - I want to see all of our neighborhoods free of crime and violence.
  • Health Care - Everyone, particularly our youngest citizens, should have access to quality, affordable health care.
  • Home Ownership - Owning your own home is the foundation of economic security.
