- Anchorage Daily News: "If legislation came before the U.S. House that would guarantee the same abortion rights nationwide as the Roe v. Wade decision, how would you vote? Yes." (www.adn.com)
- Anchorage Daily News: "I support a womans right to choose. I support safe and legal access to abortion. I believe a woman and her doctor should have privacy to discuss and decide the issue of abortion. I realize some people have their own opinions and thats fine, but they should respect the opinions of others. At some point, this is a question of personal belief, and we must recognize that not everyone has the same personal beliefs especially when considering the question as to when life begins."

- Voted in favor of HB 115 "Establishes an Income Tax" (votesmart.org)
- "Without a comprehensive plan, the politicians will burn through our savings and there will be no PFD in four years. Any politician that tells you that we can solve this crisis with budget cuts alone either doesn't know what they are talking about or is just telling you what they think you want to hear. Only with a comprehensive fiscal plan that balances cuts with new revenues will put Alaska back on track and protect your PFD." (justfacts.votesmart.org)

- "On the House Energy Committee I worked on important legislation to lower energy costs across Alaska. We passed legislation to make it easier for businesses to switch to natural gas and worked with utilities across the state to explore ways to lower transmission costs on the Railbelt Grid from Homer to Fairbanks. I voted to kill several bills that were designed to let politicians micro-manage the gas pipeline project. We face enough challenges building the gasline- we don't need more politicians mucking it up!" (justfacts.votesmart.org)

- Anchorage Daily News: "I support enhanced background checks, safe storage and red flag laws. Of course, the details on these types of legislation matter. We need to take some kind of action to reduce gun violence. Most gun deaths do not occur at mass shootings, but are from suicide and lower-profile incidents." (www.adn.com)
- "Individual health insurance costs are out of control in Alaska. They have skyrocketed 40% each of the last two years. I was proud to help pass a bill that will lower the rate increases, and I voted for an amendment to improve your ability to know about proposed rate increases and have a meaningful ability to comment to the Division of Insurance before these rates are approved. More work needs to be done, and I introduced legislation to reform Alaska's insurance rate review process. I will continue to work to push this bill into law and fight for lower health insurance rates." (justfacts.votesmart.org)
