Meet Jessica Kusner-Kalarchik

A new voice for District 29

I am Jessica Kusner-Kalarchik, and I am running to represent District 29 in the Alaska State House of Representatives.

Hello!

I am 51 years old and grew up primarily in Montana before joining the Army right out of high school. My second enlistment as a paratrooper brought me to Alaska, and my continued military service kept bringing me back. I recently retired after 31 years in the armed forces and multiple combat deployments.

Alongside my military career, I have spent a decade working as a Registered Nurse, specializing in medical-surgical care, the operating room, and serving as a Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner.

I reside on a rural property east of Palmer along the Glenn Highway and am the proud parent of two daughters and have five grandchildren.

Like many of you, I am frustrated with how our state government is currently operating. I feel a strong calling to step up and enact real change. I am running to provide the hardworking residents of District 29 with better leadership and a clear alternative at the ballot box.

“I'm running as a nonpartisan because the problems in District 29 don't check your party registration before they show up at your door.”
