Stronger Leadership For Our Future

Shareholders deserve a board that works for you! As your board representative, I will fight for a profitable, transparent, and accountable corporation that prioritizes shareholders.

🔹 Business Success & Shareholder Prosperity. We must increase profits by cutting unnecessary expenses and protecting the Marjorie V. Young Permanent Fund.

🔹 A Voice for Our Underserved Communities. I’ve spent years advocating for shareholders and their families. I will bring that same dedication to the boardroom, ensuring our corporation listens to the needs of every shareholder, not just a select few.

🔹 Election Reform. As an admin of the Shareholders of Sealaska Facebook page, I have long advocated for limiting the use of discretionary votes that protect the chosen few, term limits so the board seats are not lifetime appointments, and a fair shareholder resolution process and passage.

🔹 Transparency & Your Right to Know. You deserve open, honest communication from your corporation.

🔹 Holding Executives Accountable. No more rewarding failure. If a business isn’t performing, leadership must be held responsible. I will work to ensure our corporation operates with integrity and puts results before personal interests.

It’s time for real leadership that works for you.

Your Vote. Your Voice. Our Future.
