The end of one adventure, the beginning of another.

Let’s go make Alaska and America great again!

[Congressman Nick Begich @RepNickBegich]

America’s reserves balance sheet is a critical component of our nation’s insurance policy, bolstering our currency and providing assurance during times of uncertainty. Over time, the prevailing sentiment as to what constitutes a durable store of value can shift, and as such it is important for us to recognize this fact and provide the flexibility needed to broaden America’s portfolio of reserve assets.  

The American Reserve Modernization Act (ARMA) ensures digital assets in the possession of the federal government will be consolidated across government and protected as a reserve asset for future generations, protecting these assets from the whims of Congress or future administrations.

I am thankful that the President, the First Lady, members of the Administration, and all those in attendance are safe following the apprehension of a shooter at the White House Correspondents Dinner.

I commend the @SecretService and our law enforcement officers for their swift and decisive response.

ALASKA UNLOCKED: Alaska’s future just became a whole lot brighter! New jobs, new opportunities, and new revenue are on the way.

The NPR-A lease sale just set a record, and it’s because of provisions I fought for in the Working Families Tax Cut Act and our NPR-A CRA that permanently ended the Biden-era lockup of these resources.

1.3 Million acres leased and a record-setting $163 Million dollars in winning bids from companies that haven’t operated in Alaska in years - why are they coming back? Because we have legislated in ways that generate stability, predictability, and clarity for Alaska. By doing this, we have created hope and optimism.

Importantly, the revenue from these leases will grow to 70% flowing into Alaska, the highest we’ve see since the pipeline started flowing.

I’ve been in DC for less than one term, and in that time we’ve achieved some of the biggest wins Alaska has seen in decades. We are turning this ship AROUND. There’s more to be done, but our best days are still ahead!

During my recent stop in Ketchikan this past week, I visited JAG Shipyard to see the important work being done to support Alaska’s maritime industries.

As Alaska continues to grow in this space, our expanding shipyard capacity means new opportunities for investment, workforce development, and economic activity in coastal Alaska.

Facilities like JAG demonstrate how investment in maritime infrastructure can help ensure Alaska remains competitive while supporting the communities that depend on our working waterfronts.

Thank you to the team at JAG Shipyard for the tour and for the work they’re doing to strengthen Alaska’s maritime sector.

Today, I had the honor of addressing the Alaska State Legislature for my annual State of the State address.

Over the past year, my team and I have delivered real results for Alaska - opening the door for responsible resource development, infrastructure investments, investing in rural healthcare, and ensuring Alaska plays a central role in America’s energy and mineral security future.

The obstacles that held Alaska back for decades are finally coming down and the door of opportunity is wide open. Now, it is up to Alaska to seize that opportunity.

@TheCalvinCooli1 Back to School? Anybody? Anybody?

[Congressman Nick Begich @RepNickBegich]

The Cape Fox Land Entitlement Finalization Act of 2025, a bill that streamlines land management and provides for new capacity and revenue streams for Southeast Alaska has passed the Senate and is now on its way to the President’s Desk. Proud to have led this bill in the House.

Alaska’s voice has been restored in this 119th Congress, and we are being prioritized in our nation’s capital once again.

[Congressman Nick Begich @RepNickBegich]

Congratulations, TEAM USA! Proud to have Alaska’s very own, Jeremy Swayman, representing the Last Frontier and bringing home the gold!

American elections are for American citizens.

This tax season, families are seeing real relief thanks to the Working Families Tax Cuts.

Bigger refunds, lower tax bills, and zero federal income tax liability for many households.

These policies are putting money back where it belongs: in the hands of hardworking Alaskans.

[Congressman Nick Begich @RepNickBegich]

Proud to support this legislation from my good friend and colleague, @RepPeteStauber

The Critical Mineral Dominance Act puts America FIRST by unlocking our vast critical mineral resources and ending our dangerous supply chain dependence on adversarial nations.

@kt_bob_AK @SenRandPaul @SenDanSullivan @RepNickBegich HR 22 (the SAVE Act) was voted on and passed the House of Representatives on 4/10/25. Rep. Begich voted in favor of passage and continues to support the bill.

The Arctic is a crucial domain, more important now than at any point in our history. With a framework for Greenland on the horizon, it’s important to remember that interest in securing the Arctic has been a longstanding foreign policy objective; as such it’s encouraging to see progress being made that will improve security at home and among our allies abroad.

@marinemom3833 @RepNickBegich A yes vote was to defund NED supporting the amendment introduced by Rep Crane. Voting yes on Rep Crane’s amendment is a vote to defund, which is how Rep Begich voted.

[JC Garrett @JC_Garrett]

@NPBOB @AKUSAFRNR @RepNickBegich The aye vote was on an amendment that defunded NED. A no vote means you approve funding. Congressman Begich voted to defund (aye.)

[JC Garrett @JC_Garrett]

@AlaskanRants @Project_J0EL @RepNickBegich The aye vote was to defund NED. But you are right, he does and will continue to show up to work for Alaskans and Americans.
