Lisa Murkowski: “I appreciate you stating not only that you will work with us on this.”

Alaska is a cornerstone of American defense; investments like this from the Coast Guard are critical as we work to improve infrastructure on bases across the state to maintain our national security.

If a federal facility is going to be demolished, it cannot be without congressional oversight here.

Where there’s opportunities to put certain guardrails in our spending bills — there are tools, there are mechanisms — we have to be diligent to it.

I join Alaskans in condolences as we learn of the plane crash in Cape Newenham today.
