East Anchorage Schools + libraries Roads + permits

The Platform

Local government lane. Big neighborhood impact.

These policies keep the original campaign’s priorities, but put them where the Anchorage Assembly can actually move things: budgets, permits, partnerships, public facilities, and constituent pressure.

Policy 01

Clear the path for new ISPs

Use municipal permitting, right-of-way coordination, and public works planning to make Anchorage easier for responsible internet providers to serve.

Open the plan
Policy 02

Media literacy with ASD

Work with the Anchorage School Board, ASD, libraries, and families so students can spot misinformation, understand AI media, and stay safer online.

Open the plan
Policy 03

Events, arts, and local jobs

Fit the creative economy into city tools: easier event permits, better use of public spaces, workforce partners, and stronger neighborhood business corridors.

District 5

Assembly work should feel close to home.

District 5 residents deserve a representative who is accessible, prepared, and focused on the city-level details that shape daily life: roads, snow response, housing pressure, parks, public safety, libraries, permitting, and neighborhood communication.

48h

Response goal for constituent messages once campaign office systems are live.

5

Standing priorities: connectivity, education, affordability, rights, and local business.

1

Simple standard: decisions should be understandable to the people affected by them.

Hills To Stand On

Grounded values. No fog machine.

Education is the long game

Support youth, teachers, libraries, and career pathways that prepare residents for a changing economy.

Protect personal freedom

Defend pro-choice and LGBTQ+ policies, and keep local government welcoming and fair.

Respect subsistence and culture

Honor Alaska Native communities, local knowledge, and the ways families sustain themselves.

Make essentials affordable

Focus on housing, utilities, transportation, child care, and the everyday costs families actually feel.

Build for clean energy

Back renewables, efficiency, and practical innovations that lower long-term costs.

Invest in small businesses

Make permitting clearer, events easier to host, and city processes less painful for local employers.
