Yeah, that was a lovely, lovely service. And I was so proud to be there.

I think that Alaskans have had it up to here with the lying and the dishonesty.
This war is driving up our energy bills and hurting Alaskans with no end in sight.
We live and die by federal agencies and the federal employees who keep those agencies going.
We are being priced out of petroleum, and we’re being priced out of our lives in Alaska, because of the war in Iran.
Our fight is not against small and mid-size boats that keep communities like Kodiak strong. It’s against the out of state corporate greed that leads to wanton waste and damage to our sea floor.
I support oil and gas development. Alaska needs energy, and we have a wealth of resources that could be developed. However, the unintended consequences of this bill are too significant to allow it to pass.
As D.C. price hikes create an energy catastrophe for Alaskans, we can’t afford more delays, political gridlock, or one-size-fits-all rules from the Lower 48 that leave Alaskans without solutions.
Alaska has always been a leader in energy production, and as an independent voice for Alaskans, I will always stand up to anyone to invest in Alaska energy production so that we can create good-paying jobs and lower energy costs.
If we preclude Alaskans from being able to harvest Chinook, that means we’re precluding them from harvesting just about everything during the summer.
Our construction windows are so short in Alaska. They’re like nowhere else. Developing in the Arctic is so unique.
Tonight shows Alaskans are fired up and ready for an independent voice in the Senate who will fix the rigged system, lower costs, and put Alaska first.
I am so glad that the primary is now behind us. It’s a real campaign now. We are really in this.
Half of Congress does not reflect their electorate. This has to change. We’ve got to get working people, regular people, in worrying about regular people.
We have tens of thousands of Alaskans who can no longer afford health insurance, and we are getting crushed by corporate greed.
Peltola represents a hope by Democrats that a familiar face will resonate with voters in a state where the party has struggled.

There is a rigged system in Washington, DC. I saw it firsthand the two years that I worked there.
Our system was designed for a balance of powers. Clearly, there is not a balance of power right now.
