You have record inflation going on, you have proposals that were submitted last summer, and they will be awarded later this summer.

These are priorities for Alaskans up and down.

I will look forward to following up with you to get more specificity on that.

we must do better on this, we must do better on this

I appreciate that priority.

We need the workers and the H-2B workers have been a critical piece of how we're able to advance our strong fisheries.

I just wanted to add to what Senator Lujan raised about the Office of Tribal Affairs.

What we need here is a strategic focus to reduce our dependence on China and Russia.

It was extraordinary to me to see the level of interest from Alaskans all over the state, who flew into Anchorage to hear just exactly what the details are on some of these grants.

So if you have outlined your strategy, and you know where you are going, have you identified any barriers that you are looking at...

your commitment to keep working on this to ensure that the state's input is considered is appreciated

It seems to me that revoking Title 42 is going to be creating more problems than it will resolve.

I hope that you are right.

the Roadless Rule exemption finalized in 2020 should stand, but instead, we see an administration that is rolling it back.

it just seems like both sides are pointing the finger at one another.

I think there is a recognition that a level of coordination is going to absolutely be key.

I'm just asking if you can commit to overseeing that timeline to ensure that we're not going to have this significant gap between now and 2027.

what I am hearing on the ground is that BLM has done everything that they need to do.
