Wasilla, Alaska…Today I\u2019m announcing my candidacy for the U.S. House seat representing Alaska. Public service is a calling, and I would be honored to represent the men and women of Alaska in Congress, just as Rep. Young did for 49 years. I realize that I have very big shoes to fill, and I plan to honor Rep. Young\u2019s legacy by offering myself up in the name of service to the state he loved and fought for, because I share that passion for Alaska and the United States of America.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I first entered politics 30 years ago, when I was elected to city council in Wasilla. I still live in Wasilla; my family is here; my son goes to school here. My heart will always be in Alaska, even when I\u2019m representing this great state in Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n

America is at a tipping point. As I\u2019ve watched the far left destroy the country, I knew I had to step up and join the fight. The people of the great State of Alaska, like others all over the country, are struggling with out-of-control inflation, empty shelves, and gas prices that are among the highest in the world. We need energy security for this country, and Alaska can help provide that \u2013 but only if the federal government gets out of the way and lets the free market do what it does best.<\/p>\n

At this critical time in our nation\u2019s history, we need leaders who will combat the left\u2019s socialist, big-government, America-last agenda. This country was built by heroes, and the radical left dishonors their legacies by opening our borders to illegal immigrants, mortgaging our children\u2019s future, and selling out our nation\u2019s interests to the highest bidder. <\/p>\n

I\u2019m in this race to win it and join the fight for freedom alongside other patriots willing to sacrifice all to save our country. – SP<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
