​Focused on Fixing the Gaps in Alaska’s Public Safety System

Donna has seen firsthand where Alaska’s system fails — and she knows how to fix it. Her priorities include:
    •    Strengthening fentanyl and drug trafficking laws
    •    Increasing penalties for repeat violent offenders
    •    Creating victim-centered justice systems
    •    Supporting rural and tribal policing partnerships
    •    Reducing response times with better staffing and resources
    •    Enhancing first-responder recruitment and retention through a modern hybrid 401(k)-style retirement plan — not the old defined-benefits system that broke our retirement system and is financially unsustainable for Alaska
    •    Fixing broken statutes that allow offenders to cycle repeatedly through the system
    •    Improving coordination between police, mental-health providers, and state agencies
    •    Expanding tools to combat child exploitation and human trafficking
    •    Supporting prosecutors with the resources they need to secure convictions
    •    Ensuring departments have the equipment, training, and support required to keep communities safe

Donna will bring the experience of a police chief, investigator, and statewide trainer directly to the Legislature — where public-safety laws are written.

​Donna’s Conservative Priorities

✓ Protecting the Permanent Fund Dividend
The PFD is not a suggestion — it is statute. Donna supports the full statutory dividend because leaders must follow the law, not rewrite it when budgets get tight.

✓ Defending Parental Rights
Parents—not government—should guide their children’s education and well-being.

✓ Supporting School Choice
Donna believes parents should have the right to choose the education that best fits their children — public, charter, private, homeschool, or faith-based.

✓ Boys Do Not Belong in Girls’ Bathrooms
Donna believes biological boys do not belong in girls’ bathrooms, locker rooms, or sports — protecting privacy, safety, and fairness for Alaska’s girls.

✓ Strengthening Constitutional Education
Donna supports ensuring Alaska students learn the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights — the foundation of our freedoms.

✓ Supporting Public Safety
With decades of leadership and frontline experience, Donna understands what works — and what must be fixed — to keep Alaska communities safe.

✓ Responsible Resource Development
Donna supports developing Alaska’s coal, oil, gas, and natural resources to strengthen jobs, independence, and economic stability.

✓ Pro-Life • Pro-Family • Pro-Freedom
Donna stands strong for the sanctity of life — protecting unborn babies — along with parental rights and constitutional freedoms. She will uncompromisingly defend Alaska’s conservative values against extreme socialist policies spreading from the Lower 48.

​Why Donna Is Running

House District 26 deserves a representative with real-world experience, proven leadership, and unwavering conservative values. Donna is running to restore trust, accountability, and safety in Alaska. Faith, Family, Freedom and Constitutional focused.

She will fight as a voice of District 26 to:
    •    Strengthen Alaska’s economy
    •    Protect the statutory PFD
    •    Support public safety & law enforcement
    •    Stand up for working families
    •    Defend parental rights 
​    •    Pro-Life
    •    Responsible resource development
    •    Expand opportunities for Alaska’s next generation

In the Community

I wanted to try something a little different and created this Alaska-inspired country song using AI as a tool to help bring it to life.

The message behind it comes straight from the heart—faith, freedom, hard work, and the values that make Alaska strong. This is about our families, our communities, and the future we’re fighting for.

I’d love for you to take a listen and be reminded of why we’re proud to call Alaska home.

​If you believe in these values too, I’d be honored to have your support. Together, we can keep Alaska strong.
