In early 2021, I voted to impeach former President Trump based on clear evidence that he attempted to overturn the 2020 election after losing it.
Additional evidence presented since then, including by the January 6 Commission, has only reinforced that the former President played a key role in instigating the riots, resulting in physical violence and desecration of the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021.
Today, the former President has been indicted on four criminal counts. Like all Americans, he is innocent until proven guilty and will have his day in court.
As that process begins, I encourage everyone to read the indictment, to understand the very serious allegations being made in this case.

In 2020, I had a conversation with Denali Brewing Company founding partner and operator of Denali Brewpub, Sassan Mossanen, about how the COVID-19 pandemic was impacting their local business.
Flash forward a year, I met with he & his family in Talkeetna at the brewpub for a status update. Last year they faced an unimaginable loss in revenue. Luckily, their business has come a long way since last year but they are still not able to function at full capacity.
Normally Sassan has about 85 employees. This year he has around 45 and is operating on limited hours because businesses across the state are struggling to recruit a workforce to cover the demand.

Today the Department of the Interior announced it will suspend all oil and gas leases for portions of the non-wilderness Coastal Plain (1002 Area) of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR), pending the outcome of another environmental review.
The Biden administration’s actions are not unexpected but are outrageous nonetheless. Suspending leases in Alaska’s 1002 Area is in direct conflict with the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.
The Act specifically states that the purpose of the 1002 area of ANWR is oil & gas development. The oil & gas leasing program established by the Trump Administration meets the legal mandates required including imposing a framework with a range of proven environmental safeguards.

In Alaska, we know firsthand the importance of tourism to our state’s economy. In 2020 alone, the cancellation of the cruise ship season has caused an estimated revenue loss of over $90M to the State, $98M to local governments & over $1B in lost revenue for local businesses.
My bill which passed the Senate this week, the Alaska Tourism Restoration Act, alleviates the Passenger Vessel Services Act (PVSA) restriction that prevents cruise ships from transporting passengers between Washington State and Alaska. bit.ly/3uPnlaQ
During a Senate Committee on Indian Affairs hearing, I underscored the importance of tourism to the entire Alaskan economy, but also specifically Alaska Native communities. bit.ly/3eP7sLU

ICYMI: This week I spoke to press about the protesters who desecrated & defiled the U.S. Capitol in an unprecedented & violent attack, inflicting damage, injury & resulting in the death of five people.
During the interview, I was asked if I intended to join the Democratic Majority—which I absolutely, unequivocally do not.
On the day the United States Capitol was breached I had a moving interaction with a U.S. Capitol Police officer. Listen here for more details:

The FY2021 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which was recently enacted into law, includes a number of provisions that prioritize the needs of Alaska’s military in the emerging #Arctic region. bit.ly/2MpAPZy Image
The legislation includes portions of a bill I introduced with @SenDanSullivan which authorizes a new regional @DeptofDefense (DoD) Center for Arctic Security Studies. The Center, named after the late Ted Stevens, would be the first DoD Regional Center focused on the #Arctic.
The bill includes directive for the Secretary of Defense to complete a study on the impact of permafrost thaw on military infrastructure & operations. It requires the @USCG and @FAANews to assess the feasibility of using unmanned aircraft systems for Arctic surveillance.

(1/5) I worked for a fair, honest, and transparent process, modeled after the Clinton trial, to provide ample time for both sides to present their cases, ask thoughtful questions, and determine whether we need more.
(2/5) The House chose to send articles of impeachment that are rushed and flawed. I carefully considered the need for additional witnesses and documents, to cure the shortcomings of its process, but ultimately decided that I will vote against considering motions to subpoena.
(3/5) Given the partisan nature of this impeachment from the very beginning and throughout, I have come to the conclusion that there will be no fair trial in the Senate. I don’t believe the continuation of this process will change anything.
