Affordability and Economic Opportunity
Together, we can develop a vibrant, sustainable strong economy that will:
Keep Alaska’s natural wealth working at home by ensuring that the benefits of resource extraction accrue to Alaskans above outside interests. This includes reform of unfair tax breaks and ensuring owed revenues are collected.
Revitalize Alaska’s infrastructure: energy, housing, transportation including the ferry system, food production and distribution.
Balance development with sustainment of the lands, providing for future generations an Alaska that not only will remain a great place to live but will also be the beautiful destination that all the tourists wished was their home too.
Respect the worth of working Alaskans by keeping minimum wage on pace with the real cost of living, ensure access to affordable childcare, and supporting unions.
Reliably support and respect the dignity of all who are disadvantaged, whether it be economic hardship, physical illness or struggles with mental health.
Reduce and simplify permitting and other paperwork for Alaska’s small businesses without lowering standards.
