Self-sufficiency and safe, health communities: these are some of my priorities. Alaska and the rest of the United States needs a leader with a strategy for addressing climate change, a leader with a vision for leadership in renewable energy & sustainable development. We need a leader who will address health care needs for small business and everyday Americans.

To all Southwest Alaska Municipal Conference Members: It was a pleasure to join you at SWAMC’s 20th Annual Conference. The anniversary brings back memories of my experiences with the region.
