Issue Position: Establishing a Comprehensive and Sustainable Fiscal Plan

Issue Position

I'm committed to using my budgetary talents and expertise to assist in developing an all-encompassing fiscal plan that works for the betterment of the State of Alaska. I've developed a reputation as a champion of fiscal responsibility while serving as Director of the Assembly Budget and Legislative Service Office and also while serving on the Assembly. My commitment to keeping citizens informed on how the Assembly allocates tax dollars has always been a priority and will continue to be at the state level. I chaired the Assembly Budget and Finance Committee and drafted the first-ever Budget/Finance Committee Work Plan which ensured quarterly reviews of Department budgets, Anchorage School District Budgets, annual reviews of labor agreements, and other various avenues for improving operation efficiencies. My financial achievements while on the Assembly produced results at the local level. In the State Legislature, I'd like to develop a similar work plan that would serve as a guideline to creating a stronger fiscal future for Alaskans.
