Mark Begich: “For a long time, Alaska has been exploited by many other states. They come in, extract, and then leave us with nothing.”

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.

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