My friends, Alaska has been good to my family and me from the start. While I was serving in the Marine Corps, I felt Alaska shifting left which worried me because I didn't want to raise my family in a Portland, OR or a New York. I wanted to come home to the Alaska I love. I was raised in a conservative home with traditional values - values that seem to be disappearing.
This past year I had the opportunity to substitute teach for various schools in the Matsu Valley which opened my eyes to many of the challenges students and teachers face. Children fall to the bar we set and right now we have the bar set so low that they have become casual about their education. I saw the frustration in our educators who feel that their hands are tied. It has stirred me to action to protect the land I love, advocate for policies that preserve the Alaskan way of life, and strengthen us within.
Alaska's future and our posterity are too important for us to stand by and do nothing. Therefore, I have decided to run for Alaska State Senate (District N). Please help support me in this fight and together we can build a stronger Alaska.
