Surgeon for Governor Challenges Alaska Gridlock | Anchorage News

Alaska’s new political outsider, foot and ankle surgeon Matt Heilala, is running for governor with a no-nonsense, high-stakes approach. With 17 rivals in the primary, he’s betting his medical background — where split-second decisions save lives — translates to decisive state leadership. He’s zeroing in on Alaska’s energy crisis, opposing a recent tax bill that hinders LNG projects, and pushing for fiscal discipline, regulatory reform, and more oil in the pipeline to fuel economic growth. On healthcare, he wants to deregulate, empower physician assistants, expand private insurance, and overhaul Medicaid expansion — all while rejecting gridlock and demanding accountability from day one.
