Mark Begich: “The role of the Federal Government in emergencies is to assist states, not just say it is your responsibility, good…”

Thank you for your work and efforts to repeal Section 910 of the Violence Against Women Act.

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

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.

I want to make sure my colleagues hear exactly what you are saying, so a couple years from now, we do not hear complaints that, geez, why did you not do it?
