Op-Eds

Alaska knows what it looks like when Washington locks away American resources and denies our right to produce. We lived it for decades. When one looks at what the Biden Administration did to lock down 225,504 acres in northern Minnesota – one of the most mineral-rich resources in the nation – it is the same playbook and the same consequences for American workers and American national security.

Rural America represents 20% of our nation’s population but covers nearly 97% of our land. These are the communities and people that sustain our farms, our fisheries, and our frontiers. But when it comes to healthcare opportunities for rural America, there are often many challenges that limit access to quality healthcare in rural parts of the United States.

Last week, Juneau hosted an important symbol of America’s renewed commitment to Arctic readiness: the commissioning of the USCGC Storis.
The Storis is the first new polar icebreaker added to the U.S. Coast Guard fleet in more than 25 years.
For Alaska, this is no small thing. It’s a turning point and marks a new era in maritime and Arctic defense — one powered by historic investments and a clear recognition that Alaska stands ready to lead on the front lines of defense.

As the United States navigates an increasingly complex international landscape, it is imperative that we continue to reinforce partnerships with key allies. Our future prosperity and national security require strong, enduring partnerships with our partners in the Indo-Pacific.
When it comes to energy security and reliability for the United States, Alaska stands uniquely poised to serve as a linchpin in strengthening U.S.-Korea ties.

After four years of Beltway bureaucrats blocking big beautiful business opportunities in the north, Alaska is building again thanks to President Trump.
With this administration’s support, Alaska is building with Washington as an ally, not an overbearing parent slapping Alaska with more sanctions than Iran.
