A year later I returned to UW to complete my BA degree. I then went to Washington, DC, to work for Alaska US Senator Mike Gravel We worked to end the Vietnam War, stop the nuclear testing at Amchitka, get Federal Highway status for the Alaska Marine Highway System, seek a fair settlement of the Alaska Native Land Claims Settlement and an Amendment that allowed the building of the Alaska Pipeline.
I married a third generation Alaska Vietnam Veteran, earned an MBA from the University of Alaska and moved across the street from Elementary School where we raised our three children. As Director of the UAA Adult Learning Center I helped thousands of Alaskan adults earn their High School and GED Diplomas. I am a Tax Advisor and a Grandma.
- Safe schools and workplaces-We need to make sure our children can stay, thrive, and work in Alaska.
- A sustainable budget that protects the Permanent Fund-As someone who has worked for a living, I understand creating and living within a budget.
- Responsive to my constituents- As a teacher and manager, I know that returning phone calls and emails, having an open door policy, actively listening to the ideas of Alaskans is the way to find real solutions to our budget and climate challenges
In order for her to safely go to school, she needs our help-every one of us. Our medical professionals have told us what we need to do individually. We need to do it. We have to provide them with the supplies and response they require. Alaska Public Health Service needs our support. I was in an Alaskan Village as a VISTA helping the public health nurses when they visited monthly to test us for TB and eradicate it in Alaska. PHS needed to be expanded, not cut.
Project managers, union workers, and other Alaskans built a pipeline when others thought it was impossible because of environmental challenges and government regulations. I know how to cut through governmental regulations; I do taxes and write grants.
Alaskans build houses and worksites in the most challenging environment on earth. Our construction workers know how to test for pollutants and clean air and water. If they can do it on the North Slope, they can do it at my granddaughter's kindergarten. And our officials need to make it happen.

Cacy stated the following about her political philosophy in a biographical submission to Ballotpedia:[1]
| “ |
Alaska is a wonderful place to live and its greatest resource is the people. We must invest in our people and they will appropriately develop the resources for the good of our state and our nation, and the future of our children and grandchildren. All Alaskan youth should be given the educational opportunities they need to graduate high school and learn the skills needed to be productive. Adults also should have the opportunity for education and training to learn new skills to meet our changing world. Just as we came together to build the Trans Alaska Pipeline on land and stop nuclear testing in our waters, we need to come together with all of our ideas for energy and other resources to develop them safely, thinking first of how the development will affect future generations. We need a skilled labor force and ethical managers with positive, inclusive visions of our future. I believe that everyone has a part to play in making the future even brighter than the past. When I have a good job, I believe in paying my taxes. When I have access to health care and the good health that it has brought me, I want others to have it, too. When I think more should be done, before I complain, I need to step forward and do my part. This is why I am running for Alaska State Senate K in the neighborhood where I have lived for the past thirty-four years.[10] |
