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.

One year later, we cannot look away. I remain committed to standing with affected communities, listening to their voices, and ensuring they have the opportunity to shape their path toward healing and long-term recovery.
