Issue Position: Fiscal Challenge

Issue Position

The lack of a comprehensive solution to our fiscal issues is simply a function of the tough issues we face. The reality is there has been no "gridlock" in the State Senate. The Senate produced and passed a fiscal plan based on budget reductions, spending limits that limit the growth of government for the long term, and ensuring Alaskans receive a Permanent Fund Dividend. Kevin and his fellow Republican Senate colleagues held to conservative principles and stood firm against the Governor and the Democrats who fought to impose new taxes on Alaskans and failed to cut the budget. Electing a new Republican Governor and Lt. Governor is vital to enforcing fiscal discipline in the executive branch.
