The Power of Voting – Our Voice, Our Future
As an Alaskan, I can’t think of a more important moment than now to recognize just how powerful our vote truly is. Voting is not just a civic duty – it is our voice, our representation, and our protection against decisions being made about us without us.

I often reflect on the impact social media has had on our society. It seems to have become all too acceptable to confront people online and say things we might never say to their faces.

🌤️ After attending the rally today, I couldn’t help but notice the expressions on my neighbors' faces concern, commitment, unity. Everyone there was driven not by hate, but by a profound love for our country and genuine worry about its direction.

It’s worth thinking about these almost 50 people who lost their homes last month in an Anchorage fire. Most can’t find housing. What are all the people from Western Alaska going to do? Alaska has a housing crisis. #akleg #akgov
Nearly 50 people were displaced after a fire swept through Ravenwood Condominiums in Anchorage last month. Many are still paying mortgages and fees on homes they can’t live in.

Did anyone else finally receive an email from Congressman Begich? I just got one asking me to sign up for the 2025 app challenge. Kind of funny considering it's been decades since I was in high school or college!
