My name is Mike Sheldon and I am running against Sen. Bert Stedman in the Nov. 8 general election. We can vote for a bloated government in electing moderate Stedman or choose my conservative approach. My policies include:
Stand with the U.S. Constitution to protect our Second Amendment rights, including the right to keep and bear arms.
Support life and not destroy it by the murder of the innocent; defund Planned Parenthood; save our future boys and girls.
Statutory calculation for a full Permanent Fund dividend. We must revoke the percent of market value statute that governs withdrawals from the fund and keep the 40-year-old dividend formula adopted under Gov. Jay Hammond. The market value approach is an illegal act because the shareholders of Alaska did not vote to approve it. The House, Senate and governor can change the percent of the market value with a simple act. In contrast, a ballot vote of the citizens of Alaska should take place for any change in the statutory PFD formula.
We must continue maintaining and improving our Alaska Marine Highway System to run efficiently. No more wasted money building ships with bow-loading entries and the like, but engineering vessels that meet Alaska travel standards in state waters.
State House and Senate members should have term limits.
I support and will vote yes on a constitutional convention on Nov. 8. We must, as we the people, fight for freedom, truth and integrity to make the judicial system just like the House and Senate, accountable for unacceptable actions of not following the law.
Continue to build a healthy subsistence fishery, protect the sport fisheries of Alaskans, and protect our local commercial fishing industry.
Sensible government spending on public safety, education and sustainable infrastructure jobs.
Constitutional spending limit.
I am against increasing growth-killing taxes that impede private investment and limit job creation.
Support logging in Southeast to help pay for our schools and roads using stumpage receipts each year to help facilitate state expenditures.
