“Anchorage is a winter city. It snows every year. The municipality has always known how to clear the roads, but these past two years, we’ve seen a string of failures with snow removal.... As mayor, I’ll fix that.” #VoteSuzanne #Anchorage #ANCgov

It’s that wonderful time of year again when the horizon is dotted with specks of darting silver as #BristolBay fishermen race across the water to welcome the millions of returning salmon with open nets. It’s moments like these that we’re determined to preserve forever.

Thank you to @rep_mina for bringing to light the issue of gun violence. A gun can take a moment of terrible sadness and make it a life ending tragedy. We’ve got to tackle mental health supports and gun safety. #NationalGunViolenceAwarenessDay
It's #NationalGunViolenceAwarenessDay. I'm a survivor of gun violence. It is traumatic. But, we must acknowledge the pervasive nature of gun violence in our state. Last month, I shared my personal story on the House floor. My full speech here: https://t.co/Gj5CKdj31h

It was so great to celebrate this big moment at the White House with @UnitedTribes_BB, @BBForever_AK and team @nature_AK!
Bristol Bay's fish runs supply half of the world's wild sockeye salmon, supporting 15,000 jobs. We listened to scientists, Tribal leaders, and fishers who rely on the bay and want to protect it from toxic waste. If we take care of a resource like this, it can go on forever.

In a letter to the Courts, the Office of Public Advocacy says it can no longer take new guardianship appointments regardless of need. OPA has reached a crisis point with guardian caseloads of 97-100 per person. This is both a humanitarian crisis and a safety issue. #akleg

Long since overdue. Thank you @lisamurkowski for championing the Equal Rights Amendment!
Men and women should be treated equally under the law, and there should be no time limit on equality. It is far past time for Congress to act, and to remove the deadline for ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment. https://t.co/NS8SPI4m43
