I have lived in Alaska 36 years. My husband Marc and I have been married 37 years and we have raised four children. We are a military family; Marc is retired Army, and we have two sons in the Air Force. Over the years I've been involved in many community organizations. My work background includes marketing, sales and retail management.

My life, beyond family and faith, has always centered around work, activities, and community service.

Considering all of my blessings, and being fortunate to reside here in Alaska, I feel that public service not only can make an important impact and difference but also really matters - especially for our future generations.
  • I will support responsible resource development and those policies that will support growing business in Alaska.
  • High quality education for all students.
  • Smaller, limited government. Reduced government spending helps lighten the tax burden off the shoulders of the taxpayer and provides more opportunity for individuals to rise and fill those needs from the private sector.
Education. Raising four children in Alaska I understand the strengths and challenges of ensuring children get the foundation to be successful adults. There is so much opportunity to grow and develop Alaska; but we must have the human resources to move into the future. It is essential that Alaska change the way it provides education to our children. We need to get back to the basics and provide the youth of Alaska the tools they will need to be successful adults and responsible citizens. An amazing education is the most important factor in pulling people from dependency and poverty. Education can offer an individual an opportunity for higher income and to work in a career they love. It offers freedom and choices. I will support policy that increases school choice, strengthens the parent’s voice, incentivizes, and supports good teachers to come here and stay.

Scorecards

See also: State legislative scorecards and State legislative scorecards in Alaska

A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.

Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
