Mark Begich: “If a person walks in there and says, 'I am an advocate,' they are an advocate.”

Implementing the Affordable Care Act eclipsed things.

We specifically extend our appreciation to Senator Murkowski and Senator Begich for their support and efforts to repeal the Alaska exception of the Violence Against Women Act.

All we want to do is fix it for Alaska Native people. That is all.

Just assuming the private sector is going to absorb all this is not realistic.
