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.

We live and die by federal agencies and the federal employees who keep those agencies going.

When both parties are attacking you, you're doing something right.
