Brent Johnson is a strong advocate for renewable energy sources. Here’s his vision: "I’m a fan of renewable energy sources. Solar, wind, hydro, and tide power; I like them all. I think the price of oil and gas will rise naturally, which will be an incentive for green energy investment. I have high hopes that scientists will make new discoveries that will make green energy feasible." Together, let’s invest in a greener, cleaner future for Alaska and beyond. 🌿 #BrentForHouse #RenewableEnergy #SustainableFuture #GreenEnergy See less

Brent Johnson supports a balanced approach to oil and gas exploration that benefits our community without unnecessary subsidies. Here’s his view: 🛢️1. **Support Exploration**: Encourage new discoveries and innovation in oil and gas exploration to ensure a steady energy supply for Alaska. ⚖️ 2. **Fair Policies**: When Colliers Carbon and Chemical plant was proposed in Nikiski, they requested a reduced mill rate. Despite the controversy, the KPB Assembly rejected their request, and Colliers built anyway, leading to a long, successful run that benefited the community. 🌊 3. **Future of Cook Inlet Gas**: With Cook Inlet gas reserves dwindling, it's crucial to either find new reserves or develop a way to bring North Slope gas to the rail belt. Brent believes in fostering economic growth through responsible resource management, ensuring long-term benefits for all Alaskans. #BrentForHouse #AlaskaEnergy #ResponsibleExploratioin See less

  Brent Johnson advocates for a prudent approach to managing the Alaska Permanent Fund, ensuring it benefits all Alaskans sustainably and equitably. Here's his vision: 👓1. **Expert Management**: The fund should be overseen by financial experts, not swayed by political agendas, to maximize its potential and stability. 💰2. **Stable Dividends**: Dividends should be calculated based on a consistent formula that reflects market performance, providing a reliable financial benefit to residents without the unpredictability of political influence. 💸3. **Supporting All Alaskans**: These dividends are crucial not only for boosting the economy but also for supporting underserved communities, providing a lifeline to those in need and contributing to broader economic stability. 🌟 Let's commit to a future where our natural wealth continues to benefit every Alaskan, today and tomorrow. #BrentForHouse #FinancialWisdom #AlaskaPermanentFund See less

Brent Johnson believes in science-led management to secure the economic and environmental sustainability of Alaska's fisheries. Here's his take on key issues: 👩‍🔬1. **Expert Management**: Fisheries should be overseen by biologists, not politicians, to ensure decisions are data-driven and ecologically sound. 🎣2. **Reducing Bycatch**: Incidental harvest of halibut and salmon in trawls must be drastically reduced. Although trawling is managed federally, we advocate for stricter regulations to protect our local species. 👀3. **Observer Programs**: The long-liner observer program should continue only if justified by solid data, or else it should be sunsetted. 🐟4. **Cook Inlet Drift Fishers**: Support the rights of drift fishers to access traditional fishing areas based on biological data from forecasts, test boats, and sonar counts. 🥼5. **King Salmon Recovery**: The state must develop a comprehensive plan to restore king salmon populations, including research to understand thei...

Brent Johnson believes in strengthening our education system for the betterment of our students and teachers. Here's how he proposes to make a difference: 🍎 1. **Increase Base Student Allocation (BSA)**: Raise the BSA to an adequate level and make it inflation-proof. This change will allow school boards and principals to plan ahead, retain outstanding educators, and fill critical vacancies efficiently. 💵 2. **Stable Funding**: Address the long-standing issue of unpredictable BSA funding which has plagued the Kenai Peninsula School District for years. 👨‍🎓 3. **Comprehensive Education**: Ensure funding not only covers the foundational three "Rs" (reading, writing, arithmetic) but also supports sports, music, and other essential school programs. 🚌. 4. **Safe Transportation**: Advocate for safe busing to provide all students the access they deserve. 📄 5. **Adherence to the State Constitution**: Public funds should be utilized for public schools exclusively, aligning wit...
