Alaska urgently needs a fiscal plan. As Governor, I tackled a multi - billion - dollar budget deficit due to plummeting oil revenues and Senate Bill 21. We brought Alaskans together from every region and political background to develop a comprehensive plan focused on protecting es sential services while growing the economy. Painful but necessary cuts were required. We reduced dependence on oil revenues. Progress was made but critical work remains.

Today our savings are significantly depleted. Therefore, we cannot continue to draw from savings to fund government. We need a durable fiscal plan that provides certainty for families, businesses, schools, public safety, and infrastructure. We cannot leave our future to short - term thinking. With a commitment to bring Alaskans together, I am prepared to lead Alaska to rise above these challenges.

Claims that did not clear the publication standard remain visibly excluded.
Reason: NO_STABLE_ELIGIBLE_PUBLIC_RECORD_IDENTITY_ATTACHED
Candidate-stated prior service and similar names never attach another person's records.
Every profile claim points back to retained source evidence.
