The @GovDunleavy just announced that he would support @AKSenateDems in a early release of the PFD and Energy Relief on September 21st?! Alaskans said that they would use the money right now while gas prices are peaking under summer travel. Disappointed. #akleg

Today is the 33rd anniversary of the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill in Prince William Sound, Alaska. In the 30+ years since the disaster, the shipment of oil in the US has changed forever, most notably with double hulled tankers required for shipping oil in Alaska and US waters. #akleg

Great to serve w/fellow Co-chairs @RepGeranTarr @AKShelleyHughes and Rep. Rauscher on the newly formed Farm and Food Caucus! #akleg OPINION: Alaska used to grow more of its own food. Let’s get back to that.

How can we alleviate our dependence on food imports and increase our food sovereignty?
