This Funding Friday, we're celebrating $1.9 million for TKC Fish Wheel to construct a sawmill in Red Devil! The project will create 75 new jobs and provide lumber for sustainable housing.
I introduced the Native Arts and Culture Promotion Act with

More open office hours! Tonight, my staff will be at the Kaktovik Mayor’s office from 5-6PM this evening to assist with federal issues and to get to know you better. We'll also stay for ASNA Fun Night!
A win amplifying Alaskan Native voices – the Office of Subsistence Management will move under the Office of the Secretary!
Buzzy & I worked on this together; this will keep more of OSM’s funding w/i OSM, uplifting opportunities for AK subsistence users!
My staff will be in Utqiagvik tonight hosting open office hours to meet with you, hear your feedback, questions, and concerns.
Please stop by, and tell your family!
This is an assassination attempt plain and simple. America is better than this. My thoughts are with President Trump and his family, and all at the rally.
Substance abuse ruins the lives and futures of AK kids. This funding Friday, we’re announcing the $250,000 for Seward and Sitka secured from the federal government's Drug-Free Communities Support Program to help get Alaskan youth back on track.
Passionate about public service and learning about the legislative process?
Apply to join our D.C. office in the fall as a congressional intern! Applications close July 19th!
It’s been 20 years since Congress updated the primary law governing our fisheries. My FISH Act studies how the U.S. can be more competitive internationally and supports domestic seafood production!
Earlier this summer, I questioned
@SecretaryPete
about the critical importance of mining critical minerals here at home and how we can better get our goods from point A to point B.
Our calls have been heard. Outsourcing our fish production to slave labor is both inhumane and nonsensical. This listing will bring back jobs for Alaskans and Americans.
My staff attended the groundbreaking at CRREL Permafrost Tunnel Research Complex & toured the Permafrost Tunnel.
They saw firsthand how researchers study the frozen ground to understand climate change and its impacts on Alaska-- even saw mammoth bones trapped in the permafrost!
Level-headed, fact-checked media is critical to our democracy.
The Alaska Desk, a collaboration between Alaskan public media stations, received nearly $1 million to hire reporters & fund connections across the state. Today we're celebrating an investment in our local journalism!
Excited to continue collaborating with
@RepMaloyUtah
as we work to better Alaska and Utah.
The bipartisan FREE Act will bring some much-needed clarity and speed to our permitting process, so we can get projects going or get them out of the way.
