ABOUT BARBARA
Ph.D. in Economics and Public Finance, University of Notre Dame
I have been a resident of the Fairbanks North Star Borough for over 30 years, and a land-owner for over 28 years. My late husband, Mario Martinez and I raised our family here. I have been a faculty member at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, an Adult Education teacher, wife of a member of the IBEW, a business owner, swim team Mom, tennis Mom, and grandmother. Our past businesses included a paintball field in Two Rivers, a printer cartridge recycling business, taxicab businesses, and several other endeavors.
I currently work as legislative staff to Rep. Mike Prax. I am a member of the board of the North Pole Community Chamber of Commerce, the North Pole Grange, and Interior Taxpayers Association, and a member of Notre Dame Alumni Association. I am a lifelong member of the NRA, and I am a strong advocate of the 2nd Amendment.
