Red America First 07-06-22 debate with Carrie Lawlor and Kelly Nash

Carrie Lawlor for CongressShow more

America, as it was intended by our forefathers, was to be free. We were not founded by politicians; we were forged by the will of the everyday person who believed in freedom. It is time to go back to our roots. It is time for the people to take back the government and make it work for us. It is time to embrace freedom… while we are still free on paper.

My name is Kelly Nash and my home has been Fairbanks for over 40 years. I was born at Ft. Ord, near Monterey Ca in 1971 where my father was a Cobra pilot and my mom was able to stay home and raise our family.

After the Vietnam War, our family moved to Alaska to explore and embrace all it had to offer. After graduating from West Valley in 1990, I discovered a passion for helping people and a joy in building people up through personal styling, I found my career when I entered New Concepts Beauty school. For the past 28 years I have been serving the people of Fairbanks. In 2006, I decided to start my own business and have been navigating the ins and outs of small business management ever since.

I have two amazing daughters, an awesome son-in-law, and the most beautiful granddaughter.

I am fully invested in Alaska and Fairbanks and am ready to work to build a future the next generation of my family, and yours, can thrive in, not just survive in. Several years ago I noticed a change in our country, state and town. I became aware of the huge impact government actions were having on small businesses and working families. When the Covid lockdowns were implemented, many Alaskans, myself included, were deemed nonessential. I knew it was time to get politically active.

Today I am ready to go to Juneau and really represent the mainstream, everyday Alaskan. I am ready to let Juneau know that small business owners, employees and customers are the backbone of Alaskan communities and we can’t bee deemed non-essential ever again! In Juneau I will represent Alaskans like you, not big bankers, mega corporations, big oil or anyone else. I am ready to be your voice.
