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?

Nate DeMars (R)

We need to maximize responsible resource development to secure fiscal independence.

We need to ensure tax policy stability for resource developers and producers, investors, and all Alaskan businesses; curtail and contain state budget w/spending cap;

We need to establish a consistent reliable PFD formula so Alaskans can themselves establish their own responsible budgets

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Nate DeMars (R)

As a lead engineer on many successful multi-million dollar projects, I am most passionate about fiscal responsibility. The state of Alaska has the ability to obtain that through a combination of education, limiting unnecessary regulations, and consistent tax structures.
