Today, AK Gov. Dunleavy declared a state of emergency due to lack of federal SNAP funding. $5 million weekly will be paid directly to SNAP beneficiaries. Up to $10 million will be donated to food pantries to ensure Alaskans do not go hungry. Thank you, Gov Dunleavy.

One of the most interesting road trips of my life…. Riding along the Dalton Hwy FBK to Prudhoe Bay in a commercial truck.
Members of the Alaska House Majority Coalition are diving deep into the issues we address during session. We’ve met with representatives from the Dalton Highway, the UAF Engineering Department, and the Usibelli Mine to learn more about critical infrastructure in our state #akleg

For those who wondered about the “Juneau flood” in August…. This drone footage gives you a sense of the potential impact & the temporary barriers
A handful of DOT drone pilots filmed Juneau’s temporary levee consistently during the major flood stage of the event, including overnight footage using infrared cameras. The agency livestreamed that footage to keep emergency managers informed as floodwaters rose, crested and receded.

Happy to have Sen. Dunbar able to attend the 8/2 Special Session.
Anchorage Sen. Forrest Dunbar announced today that he WILL make it back for Dunleavy's surprise special session.

Dunleavy scheduled it during Dunbar's deployment to undermine a veto override, specifically on K12 funding.

Now I imagine there's a non-zero chance it gets canceled.

The U.S. Dept of Ed is withholding nearly $6 billion in funding to support low-income students, after-school programs, and English learners. Over $40 million from programs in Alaska.

What they are doing is illegal. It is also obviously immoral.
