I got to give sailors from the USS Ted Stevens a tour of the Capitol today. The group had so many questions the tour lasted two hours!!

Today Representative Andi Story and I presented a citation remembering Dr. carolyn Brown. She was an Alaska healthcare icon—one of those rare people who made a tremendous difference over and over again. We’ll miss her.

It’s hard to overstate this. Hilcorp killed the gas line bill. Stunning. Shocking.
