I’m proud of @RuthyHebard24 from Fairbanks, Alaska—a 2021 WNBA Champion with the @chicagosky. I had the chance to speak with Ruby and congratulate her. She’s an incredible role model to all Alaskan athletes. Alaska is celebrating her success. https://t.co/3x9oOu7qyp

Happy #AlaskaDay! On October 18, 1867, the Territory of Alaska was formally transferred from Russia to the U.S.   154 years later, I’m celebrating my favorite place on earth and the amazing Alaskans who live there. https://t.co/mnv0Jxc76A

10 years of working w/ @SenatorWhitehouse of Rhode Island on the bipartisan Senate Oceans Caucus.

My seaplane flight was canceled this morning due to the fog, wind & rain, and the wet weather remained as we took off on the ferry—not so uncommon Southeast weather. https://t.co/V8tfWYa5T1

Enjoyed my trip on the LeConte ferry this morning—from speaking with the captain and crew in the bridge and on deck to raising the Alaska flag. https://t.co/63v1VQm3z1

An added bonus— getting to see firsthand some of the equipment they purchased through a MARAD grant I helped them secure. I appreciate the contributions JAG us making to Alaska’s economy & job market, & for showing what Alaskans can accomplish in-state. https://t.co/mFfj0GVbX3

The new jobs we’re creating through technological advancement are significant, but they will require a strong work force behind them to make a difference. ANCEP is helping make sure Alaska's youth are equipped to fill those jobs. https://t.co/6xrzhGbnnb

In light of the Department of Energy’s growing workforce in #Alaska, I took @energy @secGranholm to meet with members of their staff, veterans of the program, and students currently enrolled in the program. https://t.co/UPuMFkQewN

In addition to sharing remarks at the event, @SecGranholm & I heard from a number of energy industry leaders on topics including the Makushin Geothermal Project, advances in energy efficiency in rural Alaska, hydropower opportunities, & benefits of greenhouse technology. https://t.co/qkUinvp28o

Alongside the rest of the Alaska Congressional Delegation and Governor Dunleavy, I’ve continued to raise Alaska’s unique challenges with regards to Canada border restrictions and have proposed reasonable solutions. Today’s announcement is welcomed news.

These funds will enable young people in Cordova and Sitka to have hands-on opportunities to grow their own locally-grown produce that will be served in their schools. Learning how to grow food and having more fresh, nutritious produce – a win-win.

The decision to rescind the proposed 2020 Arctic rule will have detrimental impacts on our energy security, economic security, and conservation efforts that are supported by oil and gas revenues.

Today in a Senate Energy and Natural Resources Cmte hearing, I questioned the Director of the @BOEM_DOI Lefton to explain the administration’s decision to update the so-called “Arctic Rule” completely disregards the latest science regarding offshore resource development. https://t.co/8qK7WB5r4V

The Alaska Space Grant Program at @UAFairbanks stipends students majoring in STEM & supports extensive research projects. Our bill backs that good work by increasing teaching, research & education in the fields of aerospace, earth science, and other NASA related disciplines.

Thank you to Anchorage forensic nurse Tara Henry for joining us today to speak to the need for this legislation in Alaska and how we must ensure all victims of sexual assault have a path to justice—regardless of where they live.

I also raised a number of Alaska specific issues, including America’s strategic role in the #Arctic, Canada’s recent cruise ship ban, the Ted Stevens Center for Arctic Security Studies, America’s reliance on foreign production of critical minerals, and US-China trade relations.

We must continue to bolster the mental health of our healthcare providers as they continue to operate on the frontlines against this pandemic.

During the hearing I questioned witnesses on the effectiveness of counteracting the oncoming crisis through the Crisis Now model, which is a framework for expanding behavioral health crisis response - one that has been utilized in Alaska to address the mental health issues. https://t.co/um03UEmYuY

I recently took part in a HELP Committee hearing focused on the mental health challenges healthcare professionals have faced in supporting the public health & medical response to COVID, providing care to patients, & distributing & administering #COVID19 medical countermeasures.

Our nation is experiencing an additional component of the pandemic—the mental and behavioral health impact. There is an urgent need to ensure healthcare providers have access to mental and behavioral health services. https://t.co/DG4kQOFxCj

Last year, I supported an effort by the @CCHRC_Alaska and the @NREL to reestablish the Arctic Energy Office which will be essential to advancing clean energy and cold climate technologies to maintain energy security in the #Arctic.
