The recently passed bill includes provisions from legislation I introduced with @SenTinaSmith, the Rural MOMs Act, to improve access to health care for expecting mothers in rural regions. https://t.co/lBQMbiCzA3

Alaskans and rural Americans will see the benefits of the bill firsthand as it provides increased opportunities for training, as well as increased support for programs in obstetric care, including postpartum depression.

In light of the disproportionately high maternal mortality rates experienced in rural communities – including Alaska – I’m proud of the strong bipartisan work Congress has put forward in addressing this issue.

That’s why I joined @SenBrianSchatz & a bipartisan group of lawmakers in calling for the expansion of access to telehealth services during the pandemic to be made permanent. We must ensure telehealth is maintained throughout the pandemic, and remains an option afterwards

Our nation and environment benefit when Alaska is at the table rather than on the menu. We have strict regulations for resource development. It is a fact that clean energy requires minerals. If the new administration is to achieve its goals, it will need to partner with Alaska.

I know there is significant apprehension about what may be in store for resource producers. We made significant strides under the Trump administration, and it is crucial to protect that progress.

I was honored to meet w/ one of the winners, Capt Matthew Soukup when I visited JBER earlier this yr before the mask mandate was implemented to reduce the spread of #COVID19. Simply put, these brave airmen are heroes and exemplary role models - we’re proud to have them in Alaska! https://t.co/ECzKXv7v0u

During the visit, I met with service members stationed there to discuss the U.S. government’s holistic approach to the Arctic and AMOC’s integral role in bringing together all the threads of how we remain informed, alert, and come together to protect and defend our country. https://t.co/g6R16Y5rka

During the same visit I was able to meet with service members regarding the impact of #COVID19 to their particular missions, service members and families. https://t.co/M8PDYHyTn9

The role that Alaska plays for our national security is truly unparalleled, and I’m proud of the men and women who serve us every day in this capacity.

I recently had an opportunity to spend time at JBER at the Alaska Mission Operations Center (AMOC), a National Security Agency facility that gathers information and provides combat intelligence. https://t.co/qwLfQKtecm

I was honored to welcome General Glen VanHerck, Commander of @NORADCommand and @USNorthernCmd, for his first visit to Alaska. It was informative to join him in briefings at JBER and at Fort Greely where we received updates on what is happening with our missile defense system. https://t.co/vDdgYnTEGH

I recognize that many Alaskans are have questions when it comes to receiving vaccinations, which is why I joined Alaska’s Chief Medical Officer @annezinkmd for a discussion on the role vaccines play in keeping yourself and your community safe and healthy. https://t.co/YDJgkuoozc

Proud to introduce the 21st Century Community Learning Centers Coronavirus Relief Act w/ @SenTinaSmith, which extends flexibility & funding to after school programs, ensuring students taking part in remote learning receive the support they need to succeed. https://t.co/64pE4k7Lat

21st Century Community Learning Centers have provided high-quality educational programming for over 20 years, inspiring students of all ages to learn, grow, and succeed. #COVID19 has been a major adjustment for everyone, but particularly for our students, teachers, and parents.

Happening soon: I’m joining @uafairbanks students for a Facebook Live Q&A, where we will talk through some of the issues that they are most interested in. Tune in at 2pm ADKT by going to UAF’s Student Leadership and Involvement Office Facebook page: https://t.co/qTNWzy08Ou

I look forward to seeing the impacts this will have on increasing cooperation and connection between Canada and Alaska, fostering strong partnerships in the Pacific Northwest and the Arctic, and to extending our region’s influence across the country and the world.

I applaud the President on signing a Presidential Permit authorizing the construction of the A2A, as providing greater access between Alaska and Canada will benefit a myriad of industries including tourism, shipping, energy, manufacturing, national security, and more.

The Alaska to Alberta, or A2A, Railway project is a promising infrastructure endeavor that would involve significant investment in Alaskan railroad and port infrastructure, as well as ongoing maintenance and operations.
