Thank you for your hospitality, Gustavus! I appreciate you letting me stop by and share my vision for a Southeast with more trade schools and economic opportunity, more tourism and more much-needed housing. Let’s build a future that works for all of us!

Hard work, grit, and local expertise. That’s how we build things in Alaska, and the craftsmen at Small Town Custom Guitars in Gustavus are no different. Homegrown businesses are the lifeblood of the Alaskan economy, and as governor I’ll be a champion for them.

During my visit to Kake, community leaders informed me annual breast cancer screenings couldn’t take place after the ferry bringing the mammogram machines had its voyage suddenly cancelled. Our ferries are a lifeline for Southeast, it’s high time we started prioritizing them.

I’m deeply concerned by the growing Green Crab population in the Southeast. This species is an existential threat to our fishermen and our salmon harvest. All options to eradicate these crabs and protect our fisheries must be on the table.
Ever since Alaska's first European green crabs were found on Annette Island in 2022, numbers have exploded and the invaders have spread north. The Metlakatla Indian Community has trapped over 40,000 of them this year. (via @alaskabeacon.com) www.adn.com/alaska-news/...
‘Explosion’ of invasive European green crabs reported in Southeast Alaska
The Metlakatla Indian Community, which has been at the forefront in the effort to control the invaders, has trapped more than 40,000 of them this year.

In Kake, I saw first-hand the impact of my work on the Reads Act. With their Pre-K grant, Kake is building high-quality early education programs that will be rolled into our school funding formula. From Pre-K to UA, I’m committed to building the education system Alaska deserves.

What a joy to spend time in Haines and Klukwan with everyone who came out to our listening tour! Thank you for showing up and speaking out! Together, we can strengthen the ferry system, increase tourism and make sure young Alaskans can afford to stay in the communities they love.

Today is my birthday, but I won’t celebrate while 66K+ Alaskans are losing their food stamps. Other states set aside funds to feed poor families and sued to defend SNAP, but not ours. We must do better. As Governor, I will never back down from a fight to protect my fellow Alaskans.
More than 66,000 Alaskans could see federal food assistance cut off in November as the government shutdown enters its second month.
Alaska lawmakers consider steps to replace $25M in federal food assistance amid shutdown
Gov. Mike Dunleavy said he was unsuccessful in identifying new funds for Alaska food banks.

Thanks to Ketchikan and Saxman for kicking off my Southeast tour with me! You spoke up about what matters: Better schools, affordable housing, reliable ferries and opportunities that keep our young people in Alaska. Change starts by listening, and that’s exactly what we're here to do.

It was a pleasure to spend some time on the Kenai hearing from folks in Homer, Kenai, and Soldotna and setting out my plans for well-paying jobs, great schools, and bright futures throughout Alaska. I was proud to kick off the listening tour in a place I have loved for so long. shorturl.at/7u5rm

Spoke at the No Kings Rally today. Defending democracy is the job of every Governor. It’s not being a Democrat or a Republican. It’s about being an Alaskan.

Mine and Sarah's thoughts are with the family of Ella Mae Kashatok and the families of the two men from the village of Kwigillingok who are still missing. If you can donate funds to the relief efforts, please follow the link on our page (linked from the Alaska Native Heritage Center page).

On the eve of the 59th annual AFN Convention, I’m excited to announce the endorsement of Chuck Degnan. A proud Alaska Native, Degnan served our state admirably as a state rep and as the Bering Strait Coastal Resource Service Manager. Proud to have you on the team, Chuck!

Today, we in Alaska proudly celebrate Indigenous Peoples’ Day and in Alaska honor the legacies of our first people. The strength, resiliency and stories of our Alaska Native community deserve our commemoration, but let me be clear: Celebration alone is not enough. (1/2)

Keeping my eye on the storms brewing in the Northwest. Alaska should be gearing up for an immediate response if needed. Being prepared to assist in the face of disasters is a primary responsibility of our Government. Cont'd
