Mark Begich: “The issues we explore today are vitally important for my constituents and especially for the Native people of Alaska.”

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

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.

We have a responsibility to protect the most vulnerable among us.
