My wife, Trish, and I are both lifelong Alaskans born in Anchorage, Alaska. We met at UAA while pursuing our education and have been married for 36 years. We were blessed to raise our three children in this great state and are now proud grandparents. I have been fortunate to work in Alaska’s private and public sectors over the past 40 years as a small business owner, commercial fisherman, police officer, police chief, city manager, and legislator from 2016 to 2020. I’ve experienced the challenges, and learned what it takes to get things done in both the private and public
- My commitment is to be a responsive Representative, to listen to the people, to lead with courage and to work collaboratively for the future of Alaska. I will strive to support longterm gain for our children and grandchildren. Our next generation deserves better.
- I bring a lifetime of Alaska-based experience to the job. I will seek to understand and carefully consider the consequences of issues before the Legislature, recognizing the signifcant responsiblity to my constituents, their families and our businesses. I will be a strong advocate for quality education, safe neighborhoods, spending discipline, road maintenance and responsible natural resource development.
- Alaska is in a critical time with the outmigration of our workforce. We have to be a more competitive employer. The cost of doing nothing is the devastation of public safety in our communities as most police departments and the State Troopers are severely understaffed. Additionally, our schools are unable to attract and retain qualified teachers and support staff. We must have the discussion of what we can do to turn this around and restore these vital services to our communities.
Public safety, natural resource production, reducing homelessness, education, and private property rights.
Courage to lead on tough policy decisions. Responsive and accountable representation to the constituents. A commitment to consensus building over partisan separation.
I have a genuine concern for people and the issues of importance to them. I take action, follow through and get things done.
Uphold the oath of office for an elected official.
Made the hard choices for Alaska.
Commercial fishing in Bristol Bay for sockeye salmon. It is still the family business.
I believe in our federalist structure of government that brings us the ideal model of separation of powers among the three branches of government. I believe the Governor should respect the Legislature's constitutional power of appropriation, and the Legislature should defer to the Governor's authority to execute the law.
Energy supply crisis. An outmigration of our workforce. Homelessness.
It is very helpful.
Absolutely. The best outcomes are always found through productive interaction of people who may not be like minded but are committed to solving the issues of the day.
Yes. Alaska law already provides for this in many instances.

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
