I think a lot of people know that when you idle your motor, it is worse for the environment than when you are in gear.

I am really impressed with the depth and breadth of the expertise that the panel has, and I have enjoyed learning a lot from you all today.

I think it is incumbent on every community, as many of us as we can, to be active participants in making sure that we are managing our windblown trash and things like that.

Wolves and bears are a very big deal in Alaska, and have a lot to do with our food security or insecurity.

Coast Guard is critical in Alaska, and so are the maritime trades and maritime transportation.

Almost everybody I know, we cut the six pack--you know what I am talking about? The six pack holders? Yes, we cut every one of those, because we don't want turtles, or fish, or birds getting wrapped up in those.

A lot of Alaskans, to a person, are so conscientious about the single use plastic.

Weather can be fast-changing, as it is everywhere. But in Alaska, you fly such great distances to get where you are going.

I really appreciated your comments, Mr. Baker, and especially your comments in regard to improving weather cams and weather stations in Alaska.

I just want to give a shoutout to the representative from the Yurok Nation. I really appreciate you being here.

I really appreciate you being here. I am also from a river which depends very much on salmon and other marine resources.

Salmon alone last year, in large part because of the Bristol Bay reds, generated $720.4 million, and the total economic output is about $5.7 billion.

I just wanted to say that, and I don't have a question. I don't want to waste your time with a question that doesn't make any sense.

I think that there can be reforms to the NEPA process? Absolutely, right?

I think to a person in Alaska they could give you about 50 examples of climate change.

We are very serious, and earnest, and absolute about our need for responsible development.

I represent Alaska, and Alaska really depends on oil and gas development.

I believe we can do both, protecting our communities while responsibly producing the oil that is so important to our state and so important to the nation, including the proposed Willow Project.

This is just my seventh day on the job, and I am finding my calendar has 25 hours of meetings and events stuffed into a 24-hour day.

No American is my enemy. If you’re an American, I want to work with you. You’re my teammate.

I`m the Democratic woman who can win.

I`m here to represent all Alaskans, no matter what your ethnic background is.

We have very serious and pressing issues that are facing households across the nation. We`ve got skyrocketing inflation. We`ve got housing shortages. We all want jobs with livable wages. We all want good schools to send our children to.

I think we`ve seen some of the foreign aggression come out of Russia and China which is very concerning to me as an American, and it makes me realize that no other Americans are my enemies. It doesn`t matter what party you`re from if…

I think that the beauty of ranked choice voting is it’s going to attract more middle-of-the-road candidates and allow more middle-of candidate -- middle-of-the-road candidates who are much more in line with the average voter.
