This morning we're kicking off the final day of #LISOrlando2022 with a #StrongEconomies session where expert speakers are discussing policy solutions for Ensuring a Stable Supply Chain of Necessary Medicines in the U.S. Thank you to our BOD Treasurer @RepGeranTarr for moderating!

Well, this was a totally awesome way to start the day! I got to join the Junior Achievement folks as they met with students at Williwaw Elementary School. Investing in our young people is always the right thing to do!

I was so happy this year I could thank Katherine in person! Learn more here and be a part of the effort:

I love working with this group of scientists, researchers, natural resource managers, tribal leaders, advocates, and more that are doing critical work across our state to maintain our natural ecosystems and habitat that important species like salmon rely on to live.

This photo makes me happy. Last year the Invasive Species Partnership surprised me at the fall meeting with their 2021 Advocate Award. #akleg #akisp

All ASD schools are closed, and all ASD after-school activities are cancelled today due to weather and road conditions impacting our current bus transportation circumstances. A decision about tonight’s campus closure community town hall will be made later today.

These soldiers were given substandard equipment, yet completed the highway ahead of schedule. We celebrate this holiday every year on 10/25, because the Alaska Highway was completed on October 25, 1942.

As you may know, the construction of the Alaska Highway was one of the first steps towards full integration of the US military, and several all-Black regiments helped construct this critical part of our infrastructure.

Today, October 25th, is African American Soldiers’ Contribution to Building the Alaska Highway Day. This holiday was created through SB 46 in 2017, which was sponsored by Senator David Wilson. I was glad to work with Senator Wilson on this legislation and carry it in the House.

Thank you to all of the amazing organizations that do this important prevention and shelter work around Alaska, including the @AKNetworkonDVSA and its member organizations like @staralaska and @AWAICinc in Anchorage.

One of my top priorities in the Legislature has been to address AK's unacceptably high rates of sexual assault and domestic violence, and I was proud to sponsor HB 291, which extended the Council on Domestic Violence & Sexual Assault.

Today, we wore purple to participate in #PurpleThursday during Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Many survivors of DV/SA, especially in Alaska, are suffering in silence. Today we wear purple to show our support and reaffirm our commitment to addressing this terrible issue.

There are so many great small businesses in our neighborhood, and I am committed to listening to our entrepreneurs to hear their ideas and concerns.
