Stable, adequate state funding should allow school districts to maintain small enough class sizes so students can learn, and teachers can do their job. We should support local and business-led efforts related to Career and Technical Education to meet workforce needs, including in skilled trades.
We should be developing Alaska energy, from oil and gas on the North Slope and Cook Inlet, to the growing supply of wind and solar resources from Mat-Su to the Kenai. I’ve worked closely with the Dunleavy administration and developers to support improved electrical grid transmission, natural gas storage to keep prices low, and regulatory stability to promote development. We need to be focused on producing natural gas for heating while diversifying our electrical generation to keep prices as low as possible.
I’ve voted against budget proposals that would have added hundreds of millions of dollars in deficit spending. Thanks to a bipartisan coalition of fiscally responsible legislators, over the last two years we ended deficit spending and restored balanced budgets. I will continue to be focused on fiscal responsibility, which is as important for our economic competitiveness as it is for stable funding of services like schools and policing. If we adhere to the Percent of Market Value draw from the Permanent Fund, we can continue to grow the fund and protect essential services without new taxes.
Faith in our election system is imperative. This past session, I voted for election reform legislation to clean up voter rolls and reduce the number of former residents/old addresses. Since people are automatically registered to vote when they file for the PFD, when they move to other neighborhoods or out of state, we have more registered voters in most districts than people who actually live there. Simply updating the voter rolls to stay current is a common-sense reform.
Every voter in Chugiak-Eagle River deserves to have their vote counted. Open primaries support majority rule, pragmatism, and collaboration.
