I have a record of public service to support my commitments to you, and a heart for the renewal of our city.

This project is an important new development for the airport, Anchorage and Alaska, and deserves our community’s support.

Our future success as a city will be driven by our answers.

The pandemic has created economic hardship and uncertainty, but the university is uniquely positioned to help Alaska recover.

Every additional step we take to protect neighbors, employees, and customers makes a difference for our community.

It promises both minimal risk to taxpayers and maximum accountability, with a focus on driving resources toward the most effective programs.

This is far from the death knell for Alaska’s oil and gas industry. It’s a transition to a different business model than what we’re used to.

OPINION: At a time when Anchorage is trying to figure out its economic future, we've got an international conference of economic developers in town. Let's take advantage.

OPINION: The troop reduction at JBER is disheartening, but it presents new opportunities, not only for personnel transitioning out of the military, but for this thriving city we call home.

OPINION: If successfully launched, this proposed public-private-partnership will send a clear signal to other developers that Anchorage welcomes their investments in our city’s future. This is a project we should all support.

Consumers in Alaska's largest city are optimistic. Businesses are excited. Most of the residents and communities in Anchorage believe the future is bright, according to a recent economic survey.

For the past two years, business in Anchorage has been good. Our employment numbers have been consistently solid; we've added about 1,800 private-sector jobs in 2013, according to preliminary and revised year-to-date data from the Alaska Department of Labor. But there's another side to those numbers that not everyone may have noticed.
