Mark Begich: “We have to deal with revenues. No one wants to talk about it. It scares everyone to death here.”

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

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

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.

It has been an honor to be here.
