Nancy’s Alaska story began at 18, when a two-week summer trip turned into a lifetime commitment. After working on the pipeline that first summer, she fell in love with Alaska’s rugged independence and community spirit. She and her husband, Kit, built their life here — raising four children, running a small business, and now enjoying eleven grandchildren. Through Kit’s experience as a small business owner, Nancy saw firsthand the challenges entrepreneurs face in Alaska.

Being raised in a military family taught Nancy the importance of service and always keeping your word. Her drive to solve problems and improve life for Alaska families led Nancy into public service. She served nine years in the State Legislature, where she chaired key committees on Military & Veterans Affairs and Armed Services. As a legislator, Nancy kept her promises — protecting the Permanent Fund, defending Alaska’s role in national defense, standing up to special interests, and never compromising her principles.

When rising crime threatened Alaska communities under Senate Bill 91, Nancy stepped up again, serving as Commissioner of Corrections. She prioritized victims, backed law enforcement, kept dangerous criminals behind bars, and sought compassionate solutions to the addiction crisis.

Today, as Lieutenant Governor, Nancy has fought for election integrity, helped lead Alaska through challenges, and worked alongside Governor Mike Dunleavy to unleash Alaska’s energy potential and protect our way of life. With a record of balancing budgets, cutting waste, and delivering results, Nancy has the executive experience to lead.

As Governor, Nancy will focus on:

• Protecting the PFD: Defending the Permanent Fund Dividend for families today and future generations.
• Jobs & the Economy: Strengthening Alaska’s workforce and creating opportunity statewide
• Energy & Cost of Living: Supporting responsible resource development, lowering utility costs, and fighting for energy independence.
• Public Safety: Backing the blue, standing with victims, and keeping dangerous criminals off our streets.
• Fiscal Responsibility: Balancing budgets, cutting waste, and protecting taxpayers.
• Strong Schools: Empowering parents, focusing on literacy, and preparing students for tomorrow’s jobs.

Alaska is where Nancy found adventure, built a family, and discovered her calling to serve. She’s running for Governor to ensure Alaska remains the best place to live, work, and raise a family — for her children, her grandchildren, and for every Alaskan.
