Congratulations to our next member of Congress, @MaryPeltola! This is a historic day: https://t.co/GpZhKTHAnI
Drive-thru COVID-19 vaccinations will be available without an appointment from 2 to 8 p.m. this Friday (3/19) at the Dempsey Anderson Ice Arena. Anyone 16 and older who lives or works in Alaska is currently eligible for a shot. #akleg
At the @WhiteHouse for the signing of the Inflation Reduction Act today! Also plan to celebrate the swearing in of our new Congresswoman @MaryPeltola with fellow Alaskans! https://t.co/INCKKMRBBe
Today, we lost an icon, a symbol of Alaska's frontier spirit, a part of our history, and a pathfinder for all Alaskans. Don & I didn't always agree, but when it came to AK, there have been few who could match his fierce love & commitment of our state. He will be missed by us all. https://t.co/IoxosAN3sG
Couldnt be prouder of my community! Thats David Wilson speaking at the I cant breathe rally today. More than 2000 Alaskans showed up in recognition and protest at this very peaceful, extraordinarily well run demonstration. https://t.co/FiUsa66wsM
Thank you @AKSenateDems for re-electing me as your Senate Democrat Leader. #akleg
RT @SenWielechowski: I am happy to report the Alaska Senate Finance Committee has included funding to create a 500 mile trail from Fairbank<U+2026>
Tonight the President of the United States declared war on American citizens. I will not stand with him. To fear protest, is to fear democracy. To fear dissent, is to value autocracy. This is not leadership, this is cowardice... https://t.co/eorty4mOwN
Today, the State of Alaska is officially recognizing 229 federally recognized tribes with the signing of HB 123 into law, following the hard work and dedication from my colleague Rep. Zulkosky and many others over the years. 1/2 #akleg
