Candidate Questionnaire: Planned Parenthood Alliance Advocates
I answer every questionnaire honestly so Anchorage families know where I stand. Parents deserve to decide what is best for their children. I completed this questionnaire for full transparency and not for endorsement. I was curious, like many parents, as to what is in the survey. I do not support this organization in any way and I feel it is very enlightening to see what politicians must agree to, to earn the endorsement. There are many on our School Board and Assembly tha

Career, Vocational, & Life-Ready Education: Freeing Our Kids from the College Debt Trap
In Alaska, where we rank 46th in education outcomes, it's time to flip the narrative. Not every kid needs a four-year degree to thrive. Many will build our state as welders, mechanics, or public servants, filling the 10,000+ unfilled jobs.

Veteran Dad Calls Out ASD on Radio: Why We Must Uphold American Values in Our Schools
Happy Veterans Day! As we honor those who've served our nation, it's a fitting moment to reflect on the values that bind us; liberty, equality, and service. That's why I called into Mike Porcaro's show on 650AM KENI yesterday to address the Anchorage School District's troubling decisions: adding disclaimers to our founding documents and omitting Veterans Day from the school calendar. As a Veteran and Dad with two daughters in ASD, and a candidate for the Anchorage School

Your Voice, Your Schools, Your City: Take Our Fall 2025 Community Survey
As a veteran, educator, and parent deeply invested in Anchorage's future, I believe real change starts with listening. Our schools are the heart of our diverse community, one of the most multicultural places in the world, and they should reflect that strength. Parents, not bureaucrats, should decide what's best for their children's education. Every child deserves to learn without fear in safe environments guided by local control from teachers and families. And with Alaska ran

Friends, parents, teachers, and fellow Alaskans!
