Issue positions
Tuck did not provide answers to the 2008 Political Courage Test. The test provides voters with how a candidate would vote on the issues if elected. His answers to the Alaska State Legislative Election 2006 National Political Awareness Test are available. When asked his legislative priorities he replied:
"My top priority is to return to the simple method of gross revenue for Alaska's share of the oil revenues, eliminating government overhead and litigation. Next, we need a long term fiscal plan that will provide necessary services within our means and create confidence for industry to flourish in Alaska. Also, we need a gas line that will provide new revenues, create Alaskan jobs, and provide low cost power and energy to new industries."[2]
