| Info | An ironworker by trade, Harry came to Alaska in the 1970s, when he and his wife, Gwen, helped build the Trans-Alaska Pipeline. Harry has been an iron worker for 37 years and has worked on projects across the state. He knows the value of creating more opportunities for Alaskans—from building a natural gas pipeline to developing renewable resources.
Since 2000, Harry has served Alaskans in the State House. He’s worked across party lines to create jobs, reduce class sizes, and provide tax relief. Harry has also taken important issues directly to the Alaskan electorate by leading a number of successful citizen initiatives––including one approved by 73% of voters to fight corruption by reforming campaign finance and lobbying laws.
In 2000, Harry beat 10-term incumbent Ramona Barnes, former Speaker of the State House, 55% to 44% in conservative East Anchorage, despite being heavily outspent. In four subsequent elections, Harry has defeated well-financed opponents by standing up for working families and everyday Alaskans.
Harry has consistently won reelection with conservative support. He’s helped reduce property taxes in Anchorage, and earns an “A” rating from the National Rifle Association.
