Today Alaskans celebrate Don Young Day and honor a true Alaska legend.
For 49 years, Congressman Don Young fought for Alaska in Washington. He used every committee chairmanship, every relationship, and every opportunity to make the case for Alaska.
“North to the Future” was more than a motto to Congressman Young, it was a guiding principle. Don Young fought hard to develop our state, grow our resource base, and protect what makes Alaska so special; and it is that same spirit of optimism and opportunity that my team and I endeavor to continue as we work in the Congress on behalf of all Alaska.
