Tom's Plan:

Grow High-Paying Alaskan Jobs

Too many Alaska jobs are filled by out-of-state workers. If the jobs are here, Alaskans should be filling them.

Train Alaskans for Alaska jobs

As Governor, I will:

  • Expand apprenticeships and job training

  • Focus on energy, construction, and technical fields

  • Build career pathways starting in high school

  • Strengthen career and technical education

  • Connect training directly to real jobs in Alaska

Alaskans should be able to train for good-paying work without leaving the state. Stronger local pipelines mean more jobs stay with Alaska workers.

Build the jobs of the future here

As Governor, I will:

  • Attract industries that fit Alaska’s strengths

  • Focus on energy innovation, resource processing, and cold-climate solutions

  • Connect industry growth to local hiring and workforce training

  • Support smart resource development

Alaska has unique advantages that position us to lead in emerging industries. Growth should create long-term opportunity for Alaska communities, not just outside companies.
