- Today’s ruling is exactly what I, alongside countless Alaskans, have been fighting for throughout my time in Congress. A blocked merger means protecting produce on our shelves, good-paying jobs in our communities, and preservation of our way of life.
- All the way from our Tongass National Forest, this year's Capitol Christmas Tree has made it to DC! Join us for the lighting tonight at 5 pm to see our Alaska-grown tree and all its glory.
- Last night, I voted to pass the Social Security Fairness Act to repeal GPO/WEP. Right now, too many Alaskans aren't receiving the Social Security they're owed. Our teachers and public servants deserve the benefits they paid into.
- On Veterans Day, we honor all who have answered the call to protect our nation. As a Coastie mom, I'm grateful for the courage, commitment, and sacrifices made by our servicemembers every day.

- Alaskans rely on our dogs - I introduced a bill to make travel easier for Alaskans who cross into Canada and the Lower 48 to travel back and forth with their dogs. Learn more about my Homeward Bound Act:
- As November begins, we honor #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth! This month, and every month, we acknowledge the vast contributions Native peoples across Alaska and the Lower 48 have made to our shared histories, cultures, and traditions, and vow to work to protect Tribal sovereignty.
- This Funding Friday, we're highlighting $3.84M awarded to NOAA to support climate resiliency projects and Arctic research here in Alaska! These funds will help develop better prediction tools, support local decisions, and improve research.

- Anchorage and Seward ports are getting a $47M in new investments from the EPA! Investing in our ports' growth will create good-paying union jobs and shore up our supply chain!
