The Public Record
Mary Sattler Peltola is an American politician serving as the U.S. Representative for Alaska's at-large congressional district since August 31, 2022. A member of the Democratic Party, she made history as the first Alaska Native woman elected to Congress. Peltola has focused on issues such as subsistence rights, climate change, and economic development in her home state of Alaska. Her election followed a special election to fill the vacancy left by the passing of longtime Congressman Don Young, and she has since been an advocate for bipartisan cooperation in Congress.
I would also like to express our appreciation to the sponsors of these bipartisan pieces of legislation--Representatives Zinke, Peltola, Neguse, Lawler, and more--whose leadership on these bills will help strengthen coordination and focus…

I just wanted to see if Ms. Wolff Culver would like to answer any of the previous questions in more detail.
I really appreciated what Commander Diamond was talking about in terms of safety.
I think it is interesting that the Federal Government has kind of co-opted our term 'Chief,' and then the tribes have co-opted back the term 'Chairman,' and 'Vice Chairman.'
The average household in western Alaska consumes hundreds of pounds of fish a year.
I am sure that you are aware of the lawsuit from the Wild Fish Conservancy in Washington State regarding the southern resident killer whale population.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman, for pronouncing it correctly, so that I knew that we had been pronouncing it incorrectly.
I would like to address my questions to the NOAA Deputy Assistant Administrator for Regulatory Programs.
In Alaska--the folks that are traveling to Alaska--we have at least a million people a year who come to Alaska and to visit our national parks.
This is an opportunity to address this, recognizing that there is a huge surge in this interest in getting out into the great outdoors.
I condemn that. And I can't stand when I am out in our public lands and I see that.
I sincerely appreciate the comments that I am hearing from both sides of the aisle today on this.
I just appreciate the opportunity to put a plug in for the many, many, many Americans who are responsible gun owners...
I really identified with what you were talking about, with young people not getting outdoors enough.
The purpose of the Klamath Project was essentially, at the time, to feed the nation.
