Alaska Passion

Trish and I love the great outdoors. We hike, fish, hunt and embrace the best Alaska has to offer.

Alaska Experience

I have been blessed to work in Alaska’s private and public sectors over the past 40 years as a small business owner, commercial fisherman, police officer, police chief, city manager, state board and commission member, and legislator from 2016 – 2020.

I am a proven and effective leader who values all Alaskans and will strive to keep our legislature focused on the issues that matter.

Alaska Values

Along the way, I’ve seen what matters most to Alaskans. I will continue to be a strong advocate for safe neighborhoods and trails, lasting and stable energy sources to address our supply crisis, high-quality education, responsible resource development, pro-business policies, spending discipline, and the protection of our Permanent Fund. I’ve learned what it takes to get things done, in business, solving crimes, and representing you in Juneau.

I strongly support our free-market economy and limited government. I will vigilantly guard the liberties we cherish. I prioritize working together, learning from those with different views and leading through adversity.

Positions on the Issues Facing Alaska

• Resource Development: As a recognized statewide proponent of developing Alaska’s resource potential, I have and will sponsor legislation to support Alaska’s resource industries. Our resources are the lifeblood of our state and need more support than ever to provide the energy, jobs and economic base Alaska needs to prosper.
• Education: I proudly support funding of education to insure the stability of our budgeting process and the recruitment and retention of highly qualified teachers. As a Governor’s appointee to the Alaska Education Challenge (2018-2020), I championed key improvement strategies now being pursued by the Department of Education.
• Defending Private Property Rights: I will strongly advocate for the rights of landowners to access and use their lands without interference from government entities.
• Disciplined Budgeting: As a small business owner, I understand the importance of fiscal responsibility and will continue to prioritize innovation and efficiencies in the delivery of critical core services that our public expects and deserves. These core services include public safety, education, transportation, veterans and senior services.
• Spending Cap: I support a cap on spending to grow our savings. Our state is blessed with a significant Permanent Fund which allows us to take smart, sustainable draws from the earnings to help pay for core government services and dividends. I will support the PFD we can afford without disrupting critical services.
• New Revenue: In consideration of any new revenue source, we must recognize a healthy and resilient economy cannot survive onerous taxes. We must remain business friendly to grow our economy.
• Veterans: Through my previous service on the Military and Veterans Affairs Committee and my votes on the House floor, I have and will continue to strongly support job and education opportunities for military veterans and their families.

Public Safety

As a retired police chief, public safety is a high priority for me. I support:

• Recruitment and retention of highly trained police and firefighters to increase public safety presence and reduce response times. There is no substitute for a strong public safety presence in our communities. We must find solutions to the current hiring crisis and the cost of doing nothing.
• Increased repeat and violent offender accountability and stronger victim protections through bail reform, mandatory minimum sentences and crime victim restitution.
• Public and private sector partnerships to increase investment in treatment beds and recovery housing
• Community patrols and neighborhood watch programs. Public safety is a joint effort of community members and local police working together.

My commitment to you:

• Responsive Representation
  "I will listen and respond to Constituent concerns and focus on the needs of the District."
• Leading through Adversity
  "I will prioritize working together, listening to different views and building bridges for the good of Alaska."
• Next Generation Focus
  "I will strive to support the future of our children and grandchildren over immediate gain. The future of Alaska depends on it."

What other's say about Chuck's work:

"Chuck is a strong defender of family values, freedom of conscience, and religious liberty. He has my unqualified endorsement in his re-election effort."
~ Fred Dyson, Retired Alaska State Senator, and Anchorage Assemblyman

"Chuck Kopp is the strongest proponent of private property rights, and Alaskan businesses to ever represent South Anchorage. Chuck has my full support."
~ Hugh Ashlock, Member, Dimond Center Holdings

"When my relative’s attacker was improperly released from custody, Chuck Kopp immediately took action to change the law to ensure this would never happen to another Alaskan family. Chuck is not all talk, he gets the job done!”"
~ Lee Haywood, Retired USCG and District 10 Constituent

"I was a prosecutor for over 19 years and had the opportunity to work with many fine dedicated police officers. One of them, Chuck Kopp, whom I have know for over 20 years was perhaps the most gifted and tenacious investigator I was ever privileged to work with. His intellect was legendary in the law enforcement community that his assistance was sometimes sought out by other police agencies to help solve their most difficult cases.

My respect for Chuck as a person of the highest moral character has grown over the years. He is a tireless advocate for crime victims and for the people of Alaska. I urge his re-election to the Alaska House of Representatives.
~ John Wolfe, Retired Alaska State Prosecutor and District Court Judge
