Tomorrow night at 5pm AKDT I am hosting another Teletown Hall for Alaskans w/ @SenDanSullivan alongside @AlaskaLabor state leaders- focused on providing you w/ the resources & assistance available to help navigate this pandemic and to answer any questions. https://t.co/fkQCyapLre https://t.co/p0XsxvnY94
I appreciate that the administration took into account that Alaska timber operators have suffered immensely under the draconian 20-percent Chinese timber tariff rates.
The coronavirus pandemic threatens timber jobs and could potentially bankrupt mills that operate in rural communities near our national forests. This @USDA announcement will give these essential businesses some needed relief. https://t.co/Gx3YX7V5ez
In the remote town of Utquiagvik, the community has exchanged hunting for eggs outside in the snow for searching for eggs and Easter pictures in the windows of local homes—a healthy, safe, and creative way to keep spirits high and traditions alive. https://t.co/lw0mbAmf8O

This can only be accomplished by engaging in meaningful, robust, and – given the nature of this pandemic crisis – rapid government-to-government consultation.
Implementation of the CARES Act, which was recently signed into law, will require many federal agencies to work with Tribes over complicated new authorities and deployment of critical funding.
This federal assistance will allow small businesses to cover costs of interest on mortgages, rent, & utilities. On April 10th, the program will become available for independent contractors & self-employed individuals– including fishermen, cruise industry professionals, & more.
HAPPENING SOON: @SenDansullivan & I are hosting a teletown hall to answer questions from Alaskans regarding the current #COVID19 outbreak and to discuss federal efforts in response to the pandemic. Listen here: https://t.co/ktH6ON0er9
As of March 25th, only 11% of Alaskans have participated the #2020Census. Filling out the Census is simple, easy, and can be done online. It only takes a few minutes, but will help shape the next 10 years. Help us make sure #AlaskaCounts.
#CensusDay is a reminder of how the Census is a critical component of our democracy and ensures the fair allocations of funding for vital federal programs in areas such as healthcare& education. Visit https://t.co/Ibk7TxzVmE to fill out your census.
On top of that, if and when the @AlaskaNationalGuard is activated, the CARES Act will ensure they will be resourced appropriately.

Our hearts are with their families, loved ones, and all our servicemen and woman in Iraq, and around the globe, as they heroically serve to keep others safe.
The news coming out of Iraq is absolutely tragic as two of our U.S. servicemembers lost their lives as the result of a rocket attacks on Taji Air Base.
Denali Road is the definition of critical infrastructure. It is the only real way in/out of the park. @SecBernhardt said @USInterior will release a long-term repair plan this spring. https://t.co/oaYMSFYIUL
Local knowledge is often the best knowledge when it comes to fighting wildfires. The Good Neighbor Agreement authority should be extended to the USFWS because wildfires know no boundaries. https://t.co/BipLGzNYrA
Yesterday I chaired an Energy Committee hearing to hear from @IEA’s Dr. Fatih Birol on the outlook for global energy markets, with special focus on the United States. https://t.co/MbxtiVaLFI https://t.co/Fig3qWh7xy
Carbon capture, utilization & storage is a component in the #EnergyInnovation2020 package. Cutting-edge technology can trap or convert greenhouse gas emissions from coal and natural gas plants so they don’t enter the atmosphere. https://t.co/SIzccMTeeY
Advanced nuclear reactors provide a cleaner and more affordable way to heat homes, schools and businesses than through diesel. I’m proud of the cutting-edge technology that my #EnergyInnovation2020 pkg will make possible. https://t.co/IcEWI9xf03
This bill also helps protect critical energy infrastructure and modernizes our grids through cutting-edge technologies that protect against cyberattacks. https://t.co/tAi92jBxdg

Alaskans are still recovering from the impacts of the magnitude 7.1 earthquake that occurred in late 2018, which caused considerable damage to infrastructure including roads, schools, and hospitals in Southcentral.
I'm pleased to hear that @USDOT has awarded $33.5M in grant funding to @AlaskaDOTPF to help continue Alaska’s long-term recovery efforts. The funding will help provide impacted communities w/ repairs to restore infrastructure to pre-disaster condition. https://t.co/mY94364i9N

Mrs. Hurt is an inspiration for the tremendous support she provides to the Eielson community and so many fellow military families during deployments. Thank you Mrs. Joyce for your dedication and unwavering service to our country and the military families of those who defend it.
I spoke at the 3rd annual “More than Our Stories” event organized by ALS advocates. My message to the ALS community is simple: You are doing extraordinary work. Let’s keep pushing & keep working to ensure that the momentum we have gained doesn’t stop. Together, we can #EndALS. https://t.co/PWC9FEu4AJ

We also discussed opportunities for Reserve members to take part in Innovative Readiness Training & addressing suicide among our military community. @USAFReserves contribute greatly to military strength in the High North, so I appreciate Lt. General Scobee’s feedback.
Recently met w/ Lt Gen Richard Scobee, @USAFReserves Commander, including the @477FG at JBER.

I met with @jkenney, the Premier of Alberta, to discuss our roles as energy producers, how import infrastructure is to our economies, responsible resource development & exciting new rail projects that could further connect us. His enthusiasm for what we can achieve is contagious. https://t.co/Y1SyoICQDz
As one whose family has been touched by ALS, understanding how Congress can support the ALS community has long been a priority. As a founding member of the Senate ALS Caucus led by @SenatorBraun & Sen. @ChrisCoons, together we can work to help #ENDALS. ➡ https://t.co/yaWNTvKjTi
