Jacob and I got to watch @MaryPeltola make history today. It was a great day for all Alaskans.

[Mark Begich @MarkBegich]

Mary Peltola's victory is a clear message from AK voters that they will not compromise their values or their rights at the ballot box. Mary is a pro-choice, pro-fish, common sense leader who knows what it takes to protect and create AK jobs. On to November!

@SenatorEnzi Wishing you a fast recovery. Mark Begich

[Mark Begich @MarkBegich]

I’m proud tonight’s results show Alaskans are supporting @JoeBiden. There is more work to do, let’s all chip in for our future.

[Mark Begich @MarkBegich]

Right back at you @JoeBiden. Let’s beat Donald Trump.

Did they forget to include on the opening map of the U.S. , Alaska and Hawaii. We are states. Or did I miss it we got sold to Putin by President Trump?

Joe’s right. @GovDunleavy must restore funding to the Alaska Marine Highway system. He knows that these cuts economically burden communities that don’t share his political ideology. That not the Alaska I know. We work together.

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

The marine transit system in Alaska is vital to rural communities—but faces draconian cuts in funding. IBU is on strike to ensure this lifeline for Alaskans will continue to serve communities from Ketchikan to Kodiak. The governor must restore full funding immediately. @ILWU

I’m in.

@smokeythebearak What are you talking about? More nonsense. We all believe in America. Its not a Democrat or Republican thing.

@jonathanjewel @portugaltheman @GovDunleavy Wrong. I received a little over 44% of vote, Walker about 2% Dunleavy at 51%. No ego here just a deep care for Alaska. 51% of voters bought "the give me my PFD at any cost" argument from @GovDunleavy which was irresponsible.

[Mark Begich @MarkBegich]

I encourage all Alaskans to attend this rally to oppose @GovDunleavy’s devastating budget cuts. Let your voices be heard and demand a legislative #Override to these vetos. Thank you @portugaltheman for hosting this and for your support of me and Debra Call during the election.

[Mark Begich @MarkBegich]

A 40% cut to our university system is a disaster for Alaska. Young people want a quality education so they can succeed in life. How can we inspire young people to set their roots down in the state when @GovDunleavy destroys the public education system?

[Mark Begich @MarkBegich]

I find it ironic that for a man who campaigned on “no new taxes”, with a stroke of his pen, @GovDunleavy just raised property taxes by hundreds of dollars for an average family of small business while he lives in a tax free home in Juneau.
