Real Results
Responsible Budget
Kelly funded essential services, like public safety and education, put money into savings, and paid a PFD– all without new taxes!
Resource Development
Kelly believes in responsible development of Alaska’s natural resources. She is working to eliminate barriers to growth in our state and promoting the value of investing here.
No New Taxes
Kelly opposes taxing hard-working Alaskans and successfully blocked income tax legislation.
Public Safety
Kelly made our state safer by passing strong legislation to protect Alaskans and hold criminals accountable! She expanded and strengthened domestic violence and sexual assault laws to ensure victims have a voice with prosecution and more timely justice. Kelly added resources allowing for more cases, and more perpetrators to be put behind bars.
Economic Development & Jobs
Kelly knows Alaska’s greatest resource is our people. She is working to grow our economy in all sectors, including mining, oil & gas, fishing, and agriculture, and ensuring Alaskans are trained and ready to fill the jobs to move our economy forward.
