Opposes transferring Alaska voter data to the federal government
Candidate positionWhat do you think of Lt. Gov. Nancy Dahlstrom’s decision to send Alaskans’ voter data to the federal government?I think it was profoundly wrong.

If there is a problem with inaccurate voter rolls, the state should implement a process to fix it.

Opposes the Medicaid work requirements described in the 2025 reconciliation question
Candidate positionDo you support or oppose the work requirements for Medicaid that Congress imposed in the 2025 budget reconciliation bill?Oppose.

It will cost the state of Alaska more to administer it, cost Alaska medical facilities in lost revenue and it will make more Alaskans less healthy.
