This is a scenic byway. It’s incredibly beautiful. Dunleavy’s DOT wants a 4 lane highway. I’d put $1,000 on this benefitting some Dunleavy supporter somewhere. Everything happens for a reason and it’s not about road safety for this administration. #akleg

Sometimes people are good to each other 🖤 another mutual aid need— The Bread Line needs gloves/mittens for our neighbors who spend a lot of time outside. Sometimes there is no shelter at all for unhoused folks at -40 *F in Fairbanks. #Alaska #AkLeg
Thank you, #Fairbanks! Since we shared about the increasing need for mutual aid, *12 people* have donated $2-$48 to Fairbanks Mutual Aid. We are blown away by your support and the courage it takes give and receive care. These funds are already helping cover day to day necessities. #AlaskaSky

Hey who is this in Senator Shelley Hughes's new campaign video? Surely it's not demented white nationalist bigot and failed school board candidate Alexander Rosales? Surely Senator Hughes isn't dumb enough to to do that, is she?

Thank you, Representative Gray, for this statement. I would like to hear from military leaders about what they anticipate any deployment to Minnesota would look like. Our political leaders at all levels need to be taking action to protect democracy. #alaskasky #military #alaska #minneapolis #akleg
With the news that 1,500 active duty Army soldiers in Alaska have been placed on prepare-to-deploy orders in case President Trump invokes the Insurrection Act in Minneapolis, I am making a statement as co-chair of Alaska's Joint Armed Services Committee. Immigrants matter. #akleg

Some argue PFD cuts are justified b/c lower-income #AKfams, who they benefit most, "don't work." Turns out, except for the very lowest-income households (<5% of the population), EVERY income bracket has a labor participation rate>80%. #akleg
