Help me rebuild our Alaska Republican Party! Through my years of experience working in politics, I’ve gained skills and experience. I am uniquely qualified and willing to serve our state.
• Served as chief of staff for Sen. Roger Holland. Managed successful campaigns in local and state races. Was president of my community council and on the executive board for the FCC
• My relationships expand beyond politics
• National politics are important, but our focus must be our state
• Team builder with success in growing organizations including founder and president of Alaska Adoption Services and membership chair for Anchorage Republican Women’s Club, Alaska Young Republicans, and multiple roles in my local district
I have a vision for what we can accomplish by rebuilding trust, transparency, funds, the base, bringing in young Republicans, and re-invigorating long-serving Republicans.
But it’s not about me. It is about the vision. Our vision! - Nikki Rose
