FLIPPALE: Liz Snyder for AK-HD27
Liz’s diverse background gives her insight into private industry, nonprofits, government, and education. As a daughter of a Marine, she grew up with a strong respect for our armed services and a love of our country. She worked hard throughout college in order to complete her advanced degrees in public health and risk assessment. During school, she worked for a Fortune 500 company, eventually landing her dream job as a professor at the University of Alaska Anchorage. She invests time in her community, bringing her wealth of public health knowledge to Alaska’s Food Policy Council and participating in her local community council. She is married to Sam Snyder, and is the mother of two young boys, Finn and Deacon.
Liz’s upbringing instilled in her a strong sense of responsibility for the wellbeing of her community and neighbors. Although she never imagined she would enter public service, she was inspired to run when she saw the values and needs of her district being put aside for the wants of special interest groups. With no special interest support, she ran for office in 2018 against an eight-year incumbent and came within two hundred votes of winning the race. She spent months knocking on thousands of doors, talking to neighbors, and proving that she would be the Representative who listens and puts East Anchorage, and Alaskans, first.
Liz believes in Alaska values. She believes in protecting our most vulnerable, respecting our elders, lifting up our children, helping our neighbors, building our local economies, and planning for the future. She believes that Representatives are meant to listen and to represent their constituents, not special interests. She believes that Representatives should be accessible, responsive, honest, and respectful.
