BIG NEWS FOR ALASKA! Four icebreakers are being homeported in our great state!
Two will be in Kodiak and one in Seward, on top of the Storis in Juneau. This is something I’ve been working on my entire career in the Senate. We need icebreakers in the state with the ice—now, we’re finally getting them!🧊⛏️

Blanket bans are a cultural response to an economic question.
Make data centers pay the full cost of their power. Reconsider whether tax incentives are justified. But under the right conditions, they pay property taxes, create jobs, and provide a net benefit to many communities.

Lt. Gov. Nancy Dahlstrom has opened an investigation into his candidacy.
Decoy Dan Sullivan switched his registration to Republican to run against the real @SenDanSullivan. It’s extremely suspect.
