it is probably too small for you here, but you have seen it because I provided you with many of the maps.

I am also passionate about our Alaska Native veterans who have not yet received entitlement to their native allotments.

It is indeed very significant, your nomination to this position as the first Native American woman.

We would much prefer it to be more of a partnership.

Protecting those jobs is critically important at all times, but particularly now.

We were one of only two states in the nation that were specifically targeted by President Biden's Day-One Executive Orders.

If months of lies, organizing a rally of supporters in an effort to thwart the work of Congress, encouraging a crowd to march on the Capitol, and then taking no meaningful action to stop the violence once it began is not worthy of…

the incoming administration, the Biden administration has said we are going to be moving, making this transition to these clean energy jobs.

I think we have learned from this pandemic not only where health disparities exist throughout the Country, but certainly where our educational disparities exist.

If you are not able to access broadband, if you do not have that Internet, you do not have education.

As we are talking about how you can come in and assure whether it is the worker in Louisiana or in Mississippi or in West Virginia, that your job may change.

My State of Alaska, it is our oil resources that have allowed us to build our schools, build our roads.

I have great confidence in you and your approach on these important and significant energy issues.
