I think I’m doing what most Americans would think would be a patriotic thing to do when you’re unsatisfied with the status quo. You stand up and say, I’m going to fight for things I believe that are going to make my community better.

I have every right to run for whatever office I’m qualified for, and I’m qualified for this office.

There is also what we call the VOICE of the Inupiat, another group similarly situated--all Alaska Natives, all from this area. They were established to speak with a unified voice for the Native people on the North Slope, to preserve the…

I want to let people know back home that means that that bill, the ARTIST bill that we have been trying to get moved for a long time, just passed the U.S. Senate. So I want to thank my colleague from California, my friend from California…

We paid out more last year on our debt, $36 trillion in debt, with $950 billion in interest going to bondholders all over the world, including in China. That $950 billion didn't go to build a bridge or an F-35. We paid more on the interest…

Maybe the minority leader will explain why he is objecting given that we just laid out very cogent, strong reasons that we need to move forward on confirming the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff right now. It is a very dangerous…

I have a resolution that I am looking forward to passing here on the Senate floor. I am pretty sure no one is going to object to it, but we will see in a minute. Before I begin, I want to do a huge shout-out and congratulations to Alaska's…

These law firms don't give a damn. They don't give a damn what the Attorney General says.

We want more VA officials, doctors, nurses. We love them in Alaska.

Who need to be based in Alaska.

It's just wrong. Gosh, it's wrong.

We've actually never been granted [cemetery grants], which is kind of shocking given that we have more vets per cap in the state.

It's really big, though, as you have to acknowledge.

One of the big flaws was the Camp Lejeune component of [the PACT Act] which did not have trial lawyer contingency fee caps.

Some of these law firms are charging 60 and 70 percent contingency fees. It is disgusting.

I have a reputation on this Committee of going way over my time, and I think it ticks off a lot of my Senate colleagues.
