Carrie Harris for Alaska State Senate

I’m Carrie Harris, and I’m running for the State Senate seat currently held by the retiring Senator Gary Stevens. As your future Senator, I will fight to ensure the Permanent Fund Dividend (PFD) is fully paid using the original statutory formula, and I will work to enshrine that formula into the Alaska Constitution. I also support full PFD back pay for Alaskans. It is entirely reasonable for the state to issue these retroactive amounts in twice‑yearly installments until paid off. Crucially, this funding must not come from the Earnings Reserve Account; instead, we can fund it by cutting politicians’ pet projects.To protect our fisheries, I will work to eliminate trawl gear from state waters and from the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). I have a targeted plan that will make it financially and operationally difficult for most trawl operations to continue in the EEZ. While this state‑level strategy will completely get rid of trawlers from statewaters it won’t stop every vessel in federal waters but it will it will stop many of them, and I will continuously push federal regulators to ban them from the EEZ completely.In our skies and on our streets, I am dedicated to establishing extreme, next‑generation privacy laws to safeguard your identity. I will fight for strict frameworks that limit security identification through surveillance imagery while permanently banning the technological capacity to map facial features, scan irises, or harvest biometric data without explicit signed consent. A security camera or traffic cam can take a clear, identifiable picture of you, it does not need to capture your iris scans or map your face and then sell that data.It is time to move the state capital to the Northway Mall in Anchorage. I live in Anchor Point and am not a personal fan of Anchorage, but it makes the most practical sense. Anchorage has the hotel capacity if a large portion of the state shows up at once, public transit, and resources like Costco, allowing Alaskans from across the state to travel, secure affordable lodging, stock up on supplies, and directly participate, testify, or protest in their government.There is a tremendous amount of state spending that can be cut. Alaska has layers of wasteful spending built into the budget, far too much to list here. If you’d like to talk through it in detail, or report waste full spending feel free to email me I’m happy to discuss it, and I can share my phone number with you then.Never let any politician gaslight you. The people of Alaska are the state.
A state consists of a border, a population, and a government. Because the population defines the border and creates the government, the people are the state itself, and we are the rightful owners of our state’s vast resources. We are not a separate entity from the state. Government is just the paperwork.
