Lifelong Alaskan running to focus on the basics and deliver for Eagle River, Chugiak and JBER.
About me
I’m a civil engineer and lifelong Alaskan running for Anchorage Assembly, District 2. My grandparents moved to Alaska in the 1940s, and my family has lived in the Anchorage municipality since then. I was raised in Eagle River and it's my home, where I’m raising my family, and I’d be honored to serve our community in the Assembly.
I decided to run for this seat because I was tired of seeing the lack of progress we’ve made as a city. For years we have seen political bickering monopolize the time and energy of my district’s representatives in local government while nothing gets done.
If elected, I will be focused on bettering the lives of my constituents through sound policy and practical, analytical problem solving. I have over a decade of experience working on capital projects and navigating the state and municipal permitting processes, and I would bring practical expertise to the Assembly. I’m ready to deliver on the basics for my community in Eagle River, Chugiak, and JBER.
My priorities
Tackling the homelessness crisis
I’ll prioritize reducing visible homelessness through increased coordination between nonprofits, city services, and law enforcement. I’ll advocate for streamlining city processes to help organizations serve this population more effectively. By improving public safety and cleanliness, I believe Anchorage can restore community confidence, boost tourism, and strengthen local businesses.
Reducing the cost of living to stop outmigration
I’ll support targeted property tax reform and increased housing development to make Anchorage more affordable and competitive with surrounding areas. I will work with local contractors to reduce construction costs and increase housing supply, keeping families from moving out of state or relocating to the Valley. I grew up in Eagle River and bought my first home here because this is where I want to raise my kids. I want our community to be an affordable, prosperous place where my kids will want to stay.
Strengthening public safety
I’ll always support our law enforcement because I believe public safety is the bedrock of every strong community. I’m committed to supporting the Anchorage Police Department in filling critical positions and ensuring families feel safe using our parks and trails. I believe adequate staffing and visible community engagement are essential to public safety and quality of life for our communities.
