Interview with Alaska Beacon

Heikes highlighted the following themes in an interview with Alaska Beacon. The questions from Alaska Beacon are bolded and Heikes' responses follow below.[32]

Biggest need: What’s Alaska’s biggest need, and how would you address it?'

Is to get out of the federal government control, exercise the states rights through our state constitution.

Improvements: What improvements to Alaskans’ day-to-day lives can you make from the House of Representatives?

We currently have 1 representative in the house and being the larges state in the union least amount of say. Rhode Island of 1500 square miles has more to say in Alaskan structure than the people of Alaska. I am not only running to represent our state I will be seeking, Speakership of the U.S. House. Someone tell M.T.G. that there is a new speaker coming and he's bringing his stones with him.

Oil: How long will oil be central to Alaska’s economy, and what, if anything, should the state’s Congressional delegation be doing now to prepare for a post-oil future?

Our oil, gas and coal industries have maligned by , democrats and the green agenda and the regulations of the E.P.A. for years, We have enough oil to light and heat all of America for thousands of years. We used to have bumper stickers saying " let the bastards freeze to death in the dark" Yet in Alaska we should have the lowest fuel prices, of all the states save for Texas. The world to have a productive society must have oil.

Directed spending: Do you support the use of congressionally directed spending for Alaska, why or why not?

Congress is a dysfunctional body divided by the extremes of the left, Alaskan's would be the best ones to decide our own needs.

Obstacles: What would you do to remove or prevent procedural obstacles in the US House over the next two years?

You would have to have a group of unyielding men and women with the purpose of doing what is right for America, which means to have the overriding majority in the House.

Abortion/contraceptives: What actions should Congress take on abortion and contraceptives?

Congress has no right to mandate, anything on these issues or support them. The latest ruling from the supreme court has given states the right to decide on these issues.

Fisheries: How should Congress and the federal government address the state’s growing fisheries crisis?

When democrats lead, you can expect crises on all issues whether they be real or imagined, enforce the 200 mile limit, do fisheries restocking.

Land management: What’s the best way to handle land management conflicts between the federal government and the state?

Elect those who would best serve America. Gain the trust of the American people. elect those who will do what they say they will do.

Immigration: What should Congress be doing on immigration issues?

Enforcing the law, protecting the borders. I took an oath in the Alaska Air National Guard, to protect and defend America from our enemies foreign and domestic. what we have ,now in America is domestic enemies in the White House, the halls of Congress. they have an agenda, subjugate this nation to their will. We only have one more election cycle to clear house. My oath, by the way, is still holds.

Party: On what issues do you disagree with your party’s political platform? If you’re running as an independent, what party would you prefer to caucus with?

The ever weak-kneed approach to the fiscal debt, anytime those know to do right, and do it not serve the their own interests, and not the American people.

Israel-Palestine: What should the United States do to resolve the Israel-Palestine conflict?

Support Israel. Get the hell out of the way and let Israel finish the job. Ignorance of the underlying issue, Islam is not a religion of peace but of subjection. Those Gazans or any Arabs has no choice, but to kill in the name of Allah. they are taught this from theirs mothers t---. Jews or gentiles, are in the crosshairs. Ignorance of the true issue, is shown on the streets and American campuses. If it were up to me those protesting for Gaza would be rounded up and shipped to Iran so they can join that mob for judgement.

Transgender issues: How should the federal government handle issues affecting transgender Alaskans?

According to the KJV version of the Bible. It is clearly stated in the first three chapters that God created male and female. To replenish the earth. so those who want to live a different lifestyle should not be able to tell anyone, their something their not and for me, to affirm what they make believe and to attest to their reality. So, men who want to compete in women's sports, or use women's restrooms, or showers is a complete lunacy to even consider. But right now Congress has a lot of loons.

Climate refugees: How much risk does Alaska face from climate-change-driven refugees?

Climate change is a fear factor of the ignorant, and teaching in the school systems of America. It is all to control the individual emotional response rather than the rational.

Biden administration: Alaska’s two senators have said the Biden administration is waging a “war on Alaska” with various executive orders. Do you agree with that assessment, and what, if anything, should be done?

First of all those behind Biden are controlling the continual crises, in America. It's not just an Alaskan issue, it's an American issue. Right now Biden doesn't even know where he's at. He is suffering from the judgement placed on him. (Jeremiah Ch. 17 v. 11) KJV. for those who care to look it up. What should be done? Elect Me and Trump.[33]
