Mary Peltola's victory is a clear message from AK voters that they will not compromise their values or their rights at the ballot box. Mary is a pro-choice, pro-fish, common sense leader who knows what it takes to protect and create AK jobs. On to November!

Did they forget to include on the opening map of the U.S. , Alaska and Hawaii. We are states. Or did I miss it we got sold to Putin by President Trump?

Joe’s right. @GovDunleavy must restore funding to the Alaska Marine Highway system. He knows that these cuts economically burden communities that don’t share his political ideology. That not the Alaska I know. We work together.

The marine transit system in Alaska is vital to rural communities—but faces draconian cuts in funding. IBU is on strike to ensure this lifeline for Alaskans will continue to serve communities from Ketchikan to Kodiak. The governor must restore full funding immediately. @ILWU

I encourage all Alaskans to attend this rally to oppose @GovDunleavy’s devastating budget cuts. Let your voices be heard and demand a legislative #Override to these vetos. Thank you @portugaltheman for hosting this and for your support of me and Debra Call during the election.

A 40% cut to our university system is a disaster for Alaska. Young people want a quality education so they can succeed in life. How can we inspire young people to set their roots down in the state when @GovDunleavy destroys the public education system?

I find it ironic that for a man who campaigned on “no new taxes”, with a stroke of his pen, @GovDunleavy just raised property taxes by hundreds of dollars for an average family of small business while he lives in a tax free home in Juneau.
