As a third-generation Alaskan, I know the value of a leader who stands for Alaska’s independence and prosperity.
My grandparents moved here in the 1930s, my father was born in Anchorage and studied at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, and I now own a general contracting company, Jewel Isaac, LLC, that serves communities statewide. Nick Begich understands what Alaska needs, and he is ready to fight for it.
Nick represents a stark contrast to Mary Peltola, who may have a good image but lacks the vision and backbone Alaskans need in Washington, D.C. Begich brings the pragmatic, Reagan-style approach our state deserves, empowering Alaskans to thrive through responsible resource development, job creation and limited federal interference. Like Kennedy, Begich knows the power of the individual, and he values hard work over dependency.
Peltola has shown she is comfortable with aligning Alaska with national party agendas. But, Alaskans need a congressman willing to stand up for us, putting Alaska’s unique needs and opportunities first. Nick Begich has a plan, grit and genuine commitment to our state’s future.
Let’s choose a leader who will fiercely advocate for Alaska and make our voices count in Washington.
