PROTECTING OUR ALASKAN WAY OF LIFE
Alaska First
Learn about Heather’s “Alaska First” platform:
Protecting Our People
Alaskans deserve a safe place to live, the right to defend what is theirs, and a representative body that puts the PEOPLE FIRST.
Public Safety
The occurrence and severity of crime continues to rise in both District 13 and the State as a whole. As your representative, I will advocate for adequate training and resources for law enforcement officers.
I will defend our second amendment rights. My family members are proud gun owners, and we understand the importance of protecting our family, property, and the ability to protect our way-of-life through subsistence hunting
People First Approach
Alaskans should not have to suffer at the detriment of career politicians; instead, I am an advocate for a small, efficient, and a fiscally responsible government body.
Resources
Alaskans depend upon subsistence, an affordable food supply, and developing our resources and land.
Responsible Resource and Land Development
I will work toward solutions for responsible resource development continuity and advocate for job creation in the oil and gas industry. Alaska’s history of resource and land development has long been the ‘gold standard’ for other resource development industries worldwide; however, Alaska is constricted by regulatory compliance and permitting processes and I will work to partner with other house delegates to find solutions to ensure that our State is a viable option for investors to develop our land and resources.
Food Security
Traditional use and consumption of Alaska’s land and wildlife is essential, and I will defend and advocate for subsistence as a priority.
Protecting Alaska's Future
The future of Alaska is in our hands; the education of our youth and economic opportunity should reflect the best interest for future generations.
Education
As an educator, I understand the importance of preparing our children for their future college and career opportunities.
I support a parent’s right and ability to choose a school that is tailored to fit their child’s academic and cultural needs.
Job and Economic Opportunity
Permanent Fund Dividend is an economic resource for many families in Alaska. It also benefits small businesses as it increases local spending. I will work hard to advocate for a fully funded PFD.
Alaska used to be a place for economic and job opportunity, but many people are choosing to leave the State. If we allow regulatory red tape to undermine prospects for investment and constrict small businesses, job creation and a diverse workforce will continue to decline.

Meet Heather
I was born in Bethel, raised in Kenai, and later relocated with my family to Anchorage, Alaska. I am a tribal member of the Orutsararmiut Native Council and a Calista shareholder. Growing up in Alaska, hard work and subsistence taught me the importance of being able to provide for my family and community. I joined the military and served in the US Army as a Combat Medic. My life’s passion is serving those in need, and I live out my purpose in advocating for Alaskans’ safety and wellbeing. I take pride in serving the community, and I will work hard as your district representative to protect our Alaskan way of life. I look forward to serving House District 13 and being YOUR advocate.
