Mark Begich: “There is no question that in Alaska we have the highest number per capita of veterans in the Nation.”

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?

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

That is actually an old model. That is a model that we are trying to get rid of.
