Taylor, Alaska's former attorney general, runs on his record under the theme "Building Alaska's Future, One Win at a Time," alongside running mate Candi, founder of the Anchorage engineering and oilfield-services firm Northern Solutions. On public safety, he cites violent crime at 40-year lows, falling sexual assault rates, ten solved cold-case murders, a law letting fentanyl dealers whose drugs kill be charged with second-degree murder, testing of more than 3,000 backlogged sexual assault kits, keeping the rural prosecution unit running after federal funds lapsed, and litigation to secure the King Cove–Cold Bay road for medical evacuations. On consumer protection, he cites actions against timeshare-exit scams, fraudulent auto dealers, robocalls, and false "Alaska Made" claims, and more than $100 million in opioid settlements. He says he reorganized the Department of Law for accountability, created a public-corruption reporting process, kept an open door to Alaskans, and added tribal liaisons. On resources, he cites defending the Willow oil project, suing to block federal development moratoriums and large critical-habitat designations, challenging EPA power-plant rules, supporting the end of Chevron deference and the Sackett v. EPA decision, and opposing DEI and ESG mandates. On fish and wildlife, he cites keeping Southeast's commercial Chinook season open, defending state management of Cook Inlet salmon, defending predator control for the Mulchatna caribou herd, securing state ownership of navigable waters, and defending hunting rights. On families and schools, he cites defending the correspondence school program for 22,000 students, enforcing parental notification before sex-education classes, investigating tech platforms over child safety and AI, supporting parents in Supreme Court cases on school social transition, and defending women's sports.
