Because of our changing climate and Alaska’s strategic location, the Arctic will play a critical role both strategically and economically in the future of the United States. https://t.co/a2XJaqJl2q
Alongside my colleague @SenAngusKing, I recently met with various Icelandic Delegation officials, including Ministry of Foreign Affairs Permanent Secretary Sturla Sigurjonsson, to discuss US-Icelandic relations & how we can work together to be responsible stewards of the Arctic. https://t.co/oUKZhD9dL2
As a member of the Commerce, Justice, & Science Approps subcmte, I’m proud that the Senate passed our FY2020 funding bill, which focuses on protecting Alaska’s fisheries, strengthening law enforcement & justice systems, & improving safety across Alaska. https://t.co/zIjYAdgQ7X
My thanks to all the Alaskans, including my staff, who came out to support these brave men and women, and thank you to all of our veterans for their service to this country. https://t.co/ov9HtY3MEg
As a state that so many veterans call home, I’m glad to see our community coming together to provide veterans with important services, including free medical screenings, legal guidance, housing advice, employment services, clothing donations and so much more. https://t.co/tjMjpB2gRg
Recently, volunteers from agencies, charitable organizations, and businesses in Alaska came together in support of the 27th annual Stand Down for Veterans event that recently took place in Anchorage. https://t.co/kBJvpJbbxJ

We have made great progress in degrading ISIS but must remain vigilant and continue to take every necessary step to protect the American people against terrorist threats.
I’m grateful for the intel and cooperation of other nations leading up to this nighttime raid. Bringing enemies to justice and protecting the American people from terror threats around the world remain one of our highest priorities.
Todays announcement demonstrates the US is committed to defeating ISIS and eliminating terrorism — providing greater security to Americans and those across the globe. My thanks to the brave US Service members who carried out this daring mission.
Right now the Senate is considering a funding package that combines my Interior-Environment bill, along with the appropriations bills for Commerce, Justice, Science; Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration; and Transportation, Housing and Urban Development.

Speaking shortly on the Senate floor to honor life and legacy of the late Senator Ted Stevens and his contributions to Alaska and the nation. Stay tuned: https://t.co/IRnVIL79YA
Shortly, I'll be chairing an Energy & Natural Resources Committee hearing to examine efforts to increase efficiency internationally & what best practices we can potentially utilize here at home to improve our energy efficiency domestically. Watch here: https://t.co/FCOuKfxas7
One of my favorite stops at the @NativeFederation convention every year is the Alaska Native Customary Art Fair, which gives artisans from every region of Alaska the opportunity to sell and celebrate their incredible handiwork.

In my continued effort to address the public safety crisis in rural Alaska, I introduced the Alaska Tribal Public Safety Empowerment Act, to empower tribes in Alaska to exercise the special domestic violence criminal jurisdiction on a pilot bases. https://t.co/JSRIcOeKN3
Momentarily, along with U.S. Attorney General William Barr and @SenDanSullivan, I’ll be beaming in live via video, for the #2019AFN Convention Public Safety in Rural Alaska Panel. To watch the conference live, click here: https://t.co/h9BbviVq6r
Alaska’s tribes need to be able to exercise the special domestic violence criminal jurisdiction to address our staggering statistics. Alaska tribes, with support from the federal government, can be effective partners with the State to address Alaska’s rural public safety crisis.
It has always been clear that children need good nutrition to learn and grow strong. In 1946, Congress passed the National School Lunch Act to help provide balanced meals, prevent malnutrition, and bolster our national security.
Communities across Alaska, including Utqiaġvik, Dillingham, Gustavus, and more, are actively dealing with the local water sources that have been contaminated by per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). https://t.co/3vhb4iADYl
There’s a lot in the Interior-Environment bill which I’ll be sharing over the coming days. Click the link for bill highlights ➡ https://t.co/bB2Peru9OH
A man with a truly gentle spirit, Howard shared his passion of the Athabascan language & traditional ways with his sense of humor with youth, scholars, and communities. My deepest condolences to his friends, family, and loved ones during this time.
In Alaska, most non-residential biomass projects have been for public entities that are already tax-exempt. Broadening the eligibility for tax credits is an incentive for businesses to transition to cleaner, more cost-effective energy-- a big win for Alaskans and our environment.
The BTU Act aims to amend the federal tax code to add thermal biomass to the list of technologies that qualify for tax credits for costs related to the installation of residential and commercial energy efficient heaters, wood boilers, and stoves.
Heat from biomass is a greatly underutilized energy source in the U.S. In addition to my legislation, the Wood Heaters Emissions Reduction Act, I recently cosponsored the Biomass Thermal Utilization (BTU) Act, a bill introduced by @SenatoAngusKing & @SenatorCollins. https://t.co/oXXgBN4bAG
Especially for a state like Alaska that has limited access to healthcare services, we must to all we can to improve the quality of life and access to care for Alaskans with serious and life-threatening illnesses.
.@ahtnainc helped me understand the obstacles facing their community. Fall is a great time in AK- but with that comes the need to understand some of their most pressing issues. It's a vital part of my job and responsibility as I try to represent Alaska back in Washington D.C.
Yesterday, I spent the day in Glennallen with @AhtnaInc (Ahtna), one of 12 Alaska Native Regional Corporations established under the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (ANCSA). Ahtna represents more than 2,000 shareholders, many of which call the Copper River region home.
One of my go-to activities at the @AlaskaStateFair is hula hooping. This year I upgraded from one hula hoop to TWO! https://t.co/oWhfrFdA0b
I thank @BetsyDeVosED for visiting & appreciate the American Charter Academy for their dedication to ensuring every student has access to a quality education. Their school is a great example of the diverse options that we offer within our public school system in Alaska. https://t.co/HhSQusdHxL
We also took part in a roundtable made up completely of students, who shared that while the school was “doing the best they could with what they had”- a new location for the school (currently located in a strip mall) would make a huge difference in their educational experience. https://t.co/vpYZNkvlSp
Yesterday U.S. Secretary of Education @BetsyDeVosED & I visited the American Charter Academy, a public charter school in Willow with a strong focus on STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math), digital literacy, cultural literacy and civics. https://t.co/hgjsrLVBcm
Happy to join @EPAAWheeler at ACC’s Anchorage reception yesterday to hear more about ACC’s efforts and how we can encourage others to get involved. https://t.co/05wcT6QCAv
The @ACC_National is doing great work in their efforts to bring about bipartisan discussions–both educating & empowering folks to engage in environmental conservations. After all, nothing is more conservative than conservation. It’s truly a conservative value & bipartisan issue.
Today I met w/ Anthony Mallot, CEO of @Sealaska, to discuss preserving the viability of SE Alaska’s timber industry. These meetings are so helpful in understanding the issues that are impacting Alaskans & in developing policies to support the economy & those in Southeast. https://t.co/wmHxwykZzH
Stopped in at the Tanana Valley State Fair, with wonderful folks from the interior for great conversation, to support the numerous local businesses, & to enjoy the fair food (including tasty Alaskan-grown produce.) It’s truly some of the best of Alaska coming together. https://t.co/7pfEtfzCmg

Glad to see a supplemental relief package heading to the President to be signed into law-- good news for states like Alaska who are working to get back on their feet in the wake of a natural disaster. https://t.co/gp2GUZ5wj5
Great to see this supplemental disaster relief package will be heading to the President to be signed into law soon. This is good news for states like Alaska who have been impacted by natural disasters and need relief to rebuild and get back on their feet. https://t.co/gp2GUZ5wj5
Law enforcement is a difficult job. It required bravery, grit, dedication, and strength of character. In an effort to honor these courageous officers, I proudly cosponsored a resolution that reserved unanimous Senate support designating this week as #NationalPoliceWeek https://t.co/VBfC7HSobM
If a member doesn’t support a nominee—vote no. But to drag the Senate through days of delay & obstruction, using up valuable time that could be spent on legislative priorities, is simply not the way to conduct business.
I reluctantly voted to change the process & restore normalcy to the Senate. My full statement here: https://t.co/B158TyAl5K
Our President is entitled to fill out his appointments. We’ve seen over the past 2 yrs a deliberate effort to prevent @POTUS from having his team in place. Noncontroversial noms have been forced to wait for months, even yrs only to be confirmed w/ few or zero votes in opposition.
