I don’t take representing District 28 lightly, I ran for office out of a sincere desire to try and make things work better and more efficiently. To accomplish this, it is important for me to tie a strategic direction with effective execution. A high-level vision guides shorter-term missions. To be transparent I have included my guiding vision statement below:

Vision: “A state where our society thrives, our people prosper, and our constituents experience a high level of wellbeing. We will achieve this through a limited, accountable, efficient, and transparent government which provides opportunities and respects personal freedoms.”

This vision guides my actions and while I do not push this view upon other members of the legislative body, or any constituents, I’d like to share it for insight into how I think.

Mission: Champion continuous improvement and best management practices to balance Alaska’s budget, protect the Permanent Fund, and lay the groundwork for prosperity for years to come.

This mission statement expresses my three main areas of focus: Balancing Alaska’s budget, ensuring the Permanent Fund is managed to optimize both short-term and long-term benefits, and laying the groundwork for continuous improvement practices in government. This is where my background in Quality Management provides skills that can help me realize my objectives.
