Happy New Year!

I’m running for Governor because the Alaska I know and love can be and should be much more. Alaska, more than any other place on the planet, has the resources – both physical and human – to face the future on our own terms: self-reliant, independent, and with justifiable optimism about our opportunities.

Why I Am Running

It means something special to be an Alaskan, something unique to each of us, and something shared by all of us. That’s why Mara and I are raising our family here, and why we’re proud to call Alaska home. It’s why public service has been one of the privileges of my life – I’ve been honored to help shape the debate about our future, and to fight for what I believe Alaska can be and should be.
