🚧 The Opportunity: Jobs, Infrastructure, Sovereignty

Mat-Su is on the brink of an economic renaissance that will reshape our borough for decades. This isn’t speculation. This is happening now.

What This Means

Port MacKenzie: Alaska’s Deep-Water Gateway

Nova Minerals has secured 42.81 acres at Port MacKenzie for a military-grade antimony refinery, backed by a $43.4 million award from the U.S. Department of Defense. This facility will produce materials critical for:

• Advanced defense systems
• Clean energy infrastructure
• Electronics and technology
• National security

Translation: Mat-Su becomes a national supplier of critical minerals. Reduced dependence on China. Federal infrastructure leverage. Long-term economic resilience.

🎓 The Challenge: Preparing Our Children

The economic opportunity is real. The infrastructure is in place. The jobs are coming.

But are our schools preparing our children to seize this moment?

The answer is no. And that’s the real crisis.

What We’re Seeing

• Loss of focus: Science, mathematics, language, and history are being crowded out by ideological agendas.
• Social engineering: Students are being confused about basic realities instead of prepared for their future.
• Blurred boundaries: Schools are trying to parent. Parents are being told not to worry about values. The result? Neither is happening well.
• Eroded trust: Families no longer trust institutions to serve their children’s best interests.

This stops now. When the West Susitna corridor opens, we’ll need engineers, builders, logistics experts, and skilled trades professionals ready to go. Will our graduates be ready? That depends on whether our schools refocus on academic excellence today.

🛡️ My Vision: Schools Teach. Parents Lead.

Here’s what I believe is non-negotiable: parents shape values. Schools teach skills. These are different jobs, and they need to stay different.

The Four Pillars of My Campaign

What This Means Concretely

• Remove ideological agendas from classrooms and return focus to academic rigor
• Support teachers in teaching—not parenting—and ensure public schools serve all families lawfully
• Protect girls’ sports and spaces by ensuring biological sex determines participation and access
• Restore clarity in language—no more pronoun confusion. Just he and she, corresponding to sex at birth
• Defend core services—education, libraries, public safety—from activist-driven disruption
• Ensure all acquisition decisions follow borough policy, not external agendas
• Fight for transparent, community-driven development that puts Mat-Su families first

🌱 A Borough Worthy of Our Children

Mat-Su doesn’t have to choose between thriving families and thriving economy. We’re securing both.

Our children deserve:

• Schools that teach truth, not trends
• Infrastructure that creates opportunity
• A community that sees them as future leaders, not political experiments
• Parents empowered in their fundamental role
• Teachers supported in their core mission
• A legacy built on stewardship, capability, and lawful governance
