Apologies like this and those we have seen in recent weeks honor our Native communities' resilience and help us all move forward. The 1882 bombardment of Angoon won't soon be forgotten. adn.com/alaska-news/ru…

Alaska travel in the winter is always an adventure that allows you to meet friends, new and old. When fog in Juneau cancelled our flight out of Ketchikan last night there were no angry passengers - we understand that weather happens. Trying to get northbound again today and

I'm working to keep Bristol Bay protected for future generations! My Bristol Bay Protection Act would stop Pebble Mine and protect one of the world's most important salmon habitats, keeping our state and region strong.

Last night, I voted to pass the Social Security Fairness Act to repeal GPO/WEP. Right now, too many Alaskans aren't receiving the Social Security they're owed. Our teachers and public servants deserve the benefits they paid into.
