Grounded in service and guided by respect for people and place.
Meda DeWitt is a lifelong Alaskan, Lingít (Tlingit), educator, traditional healer, and community organizer dedicated to strengthening the health, resilience, and sovereignty of Alaska’s Peoples and lands. For more than a decade, she has worked across community, nonprofit, academic, Tribal, ANCs, and policy spaces to bridge divides and build solutions rooted in community voice, cultural integrity, and practical action.
Meda believes Alaska’s future depends on protecting the space for families to live their lives without unnecessary intrusion, ensuring decisions are made closest to the people they impact, and building systems that answer to citizens, not distant interests. She stands for the right of Alaskans to chart their own course, to raise their children according to Alaskan values, and to participate in a government that is transparent, accountable, and restrained.
At the same time, she knows our responsibility does not end with us. The choices we make about land, energy, education, and economic development must strengthen—not diminish—the inheritance we leave behind. Meda is committed to stewarding Alaska’s interests wisely, growing durable local economies, and preparing the next generation to thrive in a changing world.
Grounded in service and guided by respect for people and place, Meda is running for Governor to build an Alaska where communities are strong, opportunity is lasting, and the path forward honors both our rights and our responsibilities.
