Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

Ted Eischeid (D)

• Ensure a quality education for Alaskans: As a long-time educator I know the education of our youth is key to our state’s long-term success. I will support an education system for Alaska that attracts and retains the best teachers and curricula that prepares our kids for a bright future.

• Support working families: Working families are the backbone of Alaska. We are experiencing a childcare and affordable housing crisis, and I will work to reduce barriers for working people wanting to live, work, play, and retire in Alaska.

• Maintain and grow critical infrastructure: Alaska is a wonderful place to live, but our communities need high-quality, well-maintained infrastructure to prosper. I support strong state investments in maintaining and growing critical infrastructure such as roads, ports, and airports in addition to broadband and energy infrastructure

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Ted Eischeid (D)

• Strengthen our economy: Alaska’s economy centers on natural resource development, tourism, and fisheries. By further diversifying our economy, we can strengthen and enhance it. Northeast Anchorage has a vibrant small business community, and I will support these job creators. I support a consistent and robust PFD. Ultimately, I am guided by the overarching philosophy that government should act in ways that helps people want to live/work/play here, raise families here, and to stay here in their retirement.
