The Anchorage Daily News asked candidates for U.S. House running in the special primary election to answer a series of questions. Read all of their responses here.
DON KNIGHT, nonpartisan from Anchorage
What in your background qualifies you to represent Alaskans in Congress?
I’m over 25, and a citizen, and most importantly I know how to represent the people! I’m also a nonpartisan who does not hate any political party, but feel if party names were not on the ballot many would have no idea of who to vote for!
Why are you running for U.S. Congress in Alaska?
I have a desire to get the citizens of Alaska and the United States to improve our government. Congress doesn’t seem to see the problems with our present government, so the people need to get involved.
What would be your top priority if elected to Congress?
To prioritize the needed changes to our government and find solutions to make them happen. Most can see where we need to go, but there is very little progress in getting there.If you want to see better government, identify the problems and find solutions. Let’s solve them together. No one can do it alone.
