Great turnout tonight at the town hall for Alaskans who had to make comments to two empty chairs where Rep. Begich and Sen. Sullivan should have been sitting and listening. Estimating 600+ resolute Alaskans. At capacity inside, spillover crowd outside!

We all need clean air and water, and for that we rely on a strong EPA. If the Trump administration carries out its plans, no doubt people will die. They’re calling for 65% EPA cuts, revoking hard-earned environmental regulations and protections + freezing disbursements for environmental projects.
