STATEMENT:<br />

I am running for re-election because I see this state and<br />

our country headed away from the basic principles that built<br />

our country. It is critical that moral, principled, and qualified<br />

individuals step up to lead or we will only continue down<br />

this path.<br />

I believe a legislator should have real-world experience in<br />

all aspects <strong>of</strong> <strong>Alaska</strong>’s economy and be able to translate<br />

experience and a solid education into common sense<br />

legislation that benefits their district as a whole. In my<br />

aviation career, which I continue to work, I have flown for all<br />

major sectors <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Alaska</strong>n economy and can tell you first<br />

hand how this state works.<br />

The single greatest issue facing District 6 is the high cost <strong>of</strong><br />

energy. An All-<strong>Alaska</strong> gas line will go a long way to lowering<br />

that cost. I have also encouraged additional sources <strong>of</strong> lower<br />

cost energy such as local LNG and biomass.<br />

Our state’s oil production is declining steadily. Like last<br />

session, I will lead a reform <strong>of</strong> ACES that will encourage oil<br />

exploration and stem the production declines on the North<br />

Slope, keeping the Trans-<strong>Alaska</strong> Pipeline full.<br />

We must encourage policies that help, not hinder business. A<br />

healthier business climate will lead to more jobs and greater<br />

prosperity for all.<br />

I will continue to support better education opportunities that<br />

best prepare all young <strong>Alaska</strong>ns for entry into the work force,<br />

either through college or vocational training. If you’re willing<br />

to work in <strong>Alaska</strong>, you should have the opportunity to succeed.<br />
