Issue Position: Our Economy

Issue Position

Alaska's economy has been severely weakened by the slump in global oil prices. Jobs are being lost across Alaska and unemployment has risen to new highs. Kevin believes state government must not take steps that will further weaken the economy and has fought efforts to impose new broad-based state taxes.

Kevin believes in fostering innovation, increasing competition and promoting free market principles in order to grow our economy. The spirit that existed in Alaska at statehood -- the spirit to build, to grow, to create a strong economy -- is the same spirit we need now to move our state forward.
