Issues

Tuck answered the Alaska State Legislative Election 2006 National Political Awareness Test. When asked his legislative priorities he replied:

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]
