The Marines Corps teaches you to to improvise, adapt, and overcome in order to succeed. This is not only applicable while serving in the military, but useful in all aspects of life. Life is not supposed to be easy. We are supposed to work hard for the things we love and believe in.
I believe Alaska to be one of the greatest places on earth where thousands of people have found refuge in this rugged land of opportunity.
I am Christian conservative who believes many of today's problems can be resolved through common sense solutions from public officials with no alternative motives.- Quality education for all of Alaska's students, and giving parents more school choice.
- I support law and order and defending Alaskan's right to bear arms.
- We need to eliminate Alaska's wasteful spending and protect the Permanent Fund Dividend.
Unlike many states of our union, Alaska has been blessed with an abundance of diverse resources. Rather than establishing a responsible system of development to fund our state government, our Alaskan legislature has considered introducing a state tax to supplement their excessive spending. I oppose using Alaskans to finance additional government programs and increasing the size of our state government. I will do all I can to find ways to safely and responsibly utilize Alaska's rich resources.
We trust our military and law enforcement to be there for us in times of need and we expect our government to protect our constitutional rights and defend us from foreign enemies. The right to possess firearms was designed for more than just hunting or home defense, but rather, to prevent overreach from foreign and domestic tyranny. I believe part of the power of America derives from its citizen's ability to defend themselves against adversaries and oppression.
