    With over 25% of Alaska’s businesses being female owned, Alaska is leading the charge when it comes to female entrepreneurs.

    Alaska is no stranger to students that face these types of obstacles, so it’s encouraging to see Whaley’s use of the “Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports” model, coupled with a “meet students where they are” attitude, to help facilitate a climate and culture of care.

    Today 23 veterans left Alaska to head to D.C. as part of the Last Frontier Honor Flight. These men & women proudly served our country in the WWII, Korean, and Vietnam wars. I'm thankful for their service and for the dozens of Alaskans who showed up to give them a proper send off!

    As our tribal communities work to ensure strong leadership & lasting culture, developing these cross-generational relationships within Alaska Native communities is vital. The chance to be a part of this time-honored event is truly invaluable to me.

    Sec. also heard from businesses on how the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is encouraging economic prosperity by creating jobs, generating new revenue, and growing our economy. I appreciate the Secretary for taking the time to make this trip.

    Thanks to the “Ski Moms” of Fairbanks for hosting a gathering where we discussed everything from healthcare to immigration, the separation of powers between branches of government, and support for UAF. I always value the opportunity to meet face to face with my constituents.

    It was a great opportunity for the Secretary to learn more about the Alaska LNG project and its incredible economic potential.

    In the last few decades, Sovereign Wealth Funds like the Alaska Permanent Fund Corporation (APFC) have grown significantly. This was a valuable chance to address the benefits & concerns of these funds & for APFC to help the US Treasury understand Alaskan interests.
