| Info | Long Time Alaskan
My husband, Brian and I arrived in Fairbanks in 1976. Our belongings fit into a Volkswagen bus - a carpenters' tool box, sewing machine and crib were our major possessions.
In the 28 years since, our family has lived the Alaskan lifestyle. We built a cabin in the woods and raised our two daughters without running water or electricity. We set our table with moose, fish and vegetables from our garden. We still hunt, fish, garden, and enjoy living off the land as much as possible.
Politics
I am a life-long Democrat. My political interest began in high school when I worked to support better working conditions and wages for farm workers. As your representative in Juneau, I will always work hard to represent working men and women and their families.
Work
Brian is a successful builder, and I have made a career out of helping my fellow Alaskans achieve the Alaskan dream. For the past fifteen years I have built a career advocating for and supporting good paying, high quality jobs for Alaskans. My current project continues this work by ensuring there are apprenticeship opportunities for individuals interested in construction careers.
I am proud of my involvement in coordinating the Alaska Works Partnership Women in Trades program, an innovative apprenticeship training program that opens up new opportunities for women and increases their employment in the building and construction trades.
Volunteer
Like many Fairbanks, I am an active member of our community. I have volunteered with KUAC, Alaska One, Clean-up Day, Canned Food Drive, our local chapter of Habitat for Humanity, the Tanana Valley League of Women Voters, the Midnight Sun Swim Team and Enep'ut Children's Center. In addition, I served as Secretary and Treasurer of the Fairbanks Central Labor Council, was a member of Borough Mayor Jim Sampson's transition team, and I have always been active in my union.
Family
My husband and I live in our second self-built home in the Goldstream Valley. Our daughter, Athena, lives on Maui with our grandson, Kalani and manages a farm; while Tenya lives in Fairbanks and is completing her degree in Elementary Education at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. We are very proud of our motivated and independent daughters.
