A career military officer and Mayo Clinic-trained physician who was also a NASA flight surgeon, “Dr Pete” is running for Alaska State Senate District O (Big Lake, Denali, Valdez). He is dedicated to lowering costs and raising our standard of living. His personal experience helping his sister navigate a life-threatening chronic illness reinforces his strong opposition to short-sighted Medicaid cuts. He is campaigning to revitalize public education, protect Alaska’s wealth and wilderness areas from corporate tax giveaways, and reinvest in the foundational services and infrastructure that working families rely on.
