The current electoral system fosters the type of leadership we need — leaders who are committed to stability and can navigate complex issues without being constrained by partisan pressures.

Alaskans – and all Americans – are best served by a strong national network of local, regional and international airports that can meet the needs of individual communities.

Staying on top of innovation in the 21st century and protecting our national security is imperative.

I commend our congressional delegation for staying the course and fighting for Alaska’s interests each and every day.

Other states should seize on our momentum: It only takes one state to change the face of elections from the ground up.

The omnibus bill will help advance clean energy here in Alaska and across the country.

We need a message from the people to drive the reform Alaskans deserve. Ballot Measure 2 is that message.

Today, party primaries unfairly limit Alaskans’ choices and 75% of general elections are uncompetitive.

OPINION: Alaska needs to break the old mold, take a new way forward to a sustainable state budget and guaranteed dividend. Senate Bill 114 is the way.

OPINION: Senate Bill 114 would take almost three-fourths of oil and gas royalties and pay them to Alaskans as dividends.

OPINION: Without formal and active engagement between the Arctic Council and the Northern Forum, efforts by either to address the economic, living, cultural and environmental conditions of northern peoples will fall flat.

OPINION: To Alaskans who care deeply about our state's future, persistently low voter turnout is cause for concern. But we can help remove a potential barrier by improving the convenience.

OPINION: While oil and gas will continue to be vital to Alaska’s economic future, it is time for our money to start working in smart ways for us.

OPINION: Erin's Law passage will help protect Alaska's children from sexual abuse at little economic cost; there's no good reason for delay.

OPINION: Alaska is not just a man's land. Republican women are proud to contribute to the leadership of this state, and we'll keep going for years to come.
