In Their Words

What they have said, on the record

“For more than a decade, I've proudly served as your State Representative for District 26, carrying the heart and soul of the Mat-Su Valley to Juneau with unwavering resolve. As Speaker of the House, Minority Leader, and a dedicated member of numerous legislative committees, I've fought relentlessly for fiscal discipline, the Permanent Fund Dividend (PFD), and the Alaskan values that define us.”
