Protecting Your Permanent Fund Dividend
The Permanent Fund Dividend belongs to the people of Alaska.
Proven. Practical. Principled. A working Alaskan — not a career politician — with the seniority to deliver for North Pole, Badger and the Interior.

Meet Mike
Glenn “Mike” Prax was born in Sleepy Eye, Minnesota. He moved to Alaska with his parents in 1969 and currently lives in the Badger area of the Fairbanks North Star Borough. Prax graduated from AE Lathrop High School in 1974. His career experience includes working for his parents at the Star of the North Bakery throughout his high school years, as an operations and maintenance technician with Alyeska Pipeline Service Company, as an owner/manager of Prospector Outfitters, and as an insurance producer at Dick Randolph State Farm Insurance agency.
Prax’s record of public service spans decades. He served as a District Chair for the Republican Party in the 1980s and represented Fairbanks on the Fairbanks North Star Borough Assembly from 1997 to 2001.
In 2020, Governor Mike Dunleavy appointed Prax to the Alaska State House of Representatives to fill the vacancy left by former Representative Tammie Wilson. He is now serving his fourth term in the House.
Priorities
The principles that guide every decision I make in Juneau — the same ones I ran on the first time.
The Permanent Fund Dividend belongs to the people of Alaska.
Interior families pay some of the highest energy bills in the country, and the cost of everything else follows.
Families balance their budgets, and state government should too.
Alaska has incredible opportunities, but we can’t create jobs while putting unnecessary obstacles in front of the people who build our economy.
Interior families should be able to see a doctor without driving hours or waiting months, and without a bill that upends the household budget.
Parents — not politicians or bureaucrats — should have the primary voice in their children’s education.
Serving the people of House District 33 has been the honor of my lifetime. I’m a working Alaskan, not a career politician — I’ve worked the pipeline, run a small business, and raised my family right here in the Interior. Mike Prax — 2026 candidate statement, Alaska Division of Elections
Home ground
Mike has lived in the Fairbanks North Star Borough since 1969. He raised his family here, worked the pipeline here, ran a small business here, and has answered his own phone here for four terms. That is not a talking point — it is why the cost of heating fuel, the price of a gallon of gas, and the size of the Permanent Fund Dividend are not abstractions in his office.
District 33 covers North Pole and Badger. It is a district decided by neighbors talking to neighbors, and it always has been.
Neighbors for Prax
Families across North Pole and Badger put in the hours that carry this campaign — holding signs, knocking doors, and talking with the people next door. There is a spot for you.
Three ways to help
District 33 is a small district where a few hundred votes decide the outcome. Whatever you can give — a dollar, an hour, or a conversation over the fence — it matters here.
