Recent headlines are a harrowing reminder of the work needed to prevent sexual violence in this country. Alaska has the highest reported rate of sexual assault in the US. This is unacceptable. We must do better to end the sexual assault and domestic violence crisis in Alaska.

Novel idea: the governor should live in the governor’s mansion.

Over 300 pieces of fry bread devoured! 😋🍞 A huge gunalchéesh/háw'aa to Jess, Max, Julia, and fry bread extraordinaire Christina Kadake for keeping the crowds (and a certain U.S. Senator) fed and happy at Celebration yesterday!

Happy National Trails Day! As Governor, we’ll finish the Alaska Long Trail, build dozens of public-use cabins, and create alpine hut-to-hut systems. 🏔️

Excited to have Zac Johnson joining the ticket as candidate for lieutenant governor. Marine corps veteran, firefighter, state trooper, assembly member — he’s served Alaska his whole life. Together, we’re excited to deliver the positive change Alaska needs.

My mom was a family doctor in Sitka — I grew up watching her leave in the middle of the night to deliver babies. Alaskans deserve healthcare they can trust, afford, and actually access. Here’s my plan to get it done.

GVEA just raised electric bills in Fairbanks by almost 25% —it’s not even the first hike this year. It doesn't have to be this way. Alaska needs a governor who'll open the grid to competition, force utility cooperation, and invest in renewables.

Good ideas are good ideas no matter where they come from. As a committee chair, it was important to me to treat all colleagues, whether D or R, equally and with respect. We've been missing this spirit of governance in the governor's office, and it's time to bring it back.

I just landed in Huslia, an Athabaskan village on the Koyukuk River, a little south of the Arctic Circle. I’m here because showing up for rural Alaskans has always been a priority for me and this campaign. Trail updates to come. Follow along!

Over 200 Anchorage neighbors turned out at Snow City on Friday to talk about how to bring back energy and optimism in Alaska. Thank you, The Work Shoes and Evil Wizard Collective, for letting me introduce you by your high school alma maters!
