About Me


I am standing up as the Democratic At-Large candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives for the great state of Alaska.
Our current representative has been in office far too long and he has treated his responsibility to us Alaskans as a birthright, not an obligation.
Now is the time to take back our government from entrenched politicians, corporate cronies, and corrupt lobbyists. In supporting our nation, we cannot allow our sons and daughters, husbands and wives and other loved ones to be placed in harm’s way with vague direction and no clear exit plan.
As the representative of Alaska in the House of Representatives, I must and will take on this responsibility as a job and show up for the job to represent the citizens of this great state. I will ensure that I put the needs of our state in the forefront.
The Republican Party is more splintered now than at any time in recent memory. They are disenfranchised by their leadership, including my opponent. It is time for a change in leadership.
Stand up with me today and say: “Don, your time is up - we’ll help you pack.”

My Interests

I'd like to meet:


I am excited to meet as many Alaskans as I can who are wanting to work together with me to build Alaska's future.
Alaska is to old now to keep Don Young. If you feel like I do, that together we can do better, please join me in my campaign!
