“In times like these, Alaskans come together to fight for our state and our future. Former U.S. Senator Begich and I are 'all in' for Alaska and I pledge to work together with him and others to bring more stability and certainty for Alaskans in the days and months ahead.”
“As political rivals who have publicly disagreed on issues, the easy answer when Governor Dunleavy asked for my participation would have been no, but we are facing a global crisis and I believe we all must do our part to protect Alaska’s families, communities, and economy. There is already so much uncertainty and strain placed on our businesses – both big and small – we can’t afford for partisanship to prevent us from finding a path forward. Those who have worked with me know that I am not afraid of tough conversations so Alaska businesses can feel confident that I will work to make their needs and voices heard.”
