Congressman Nick Begich

Proudly serving America’s 49th state in the United States House of Representatives. American prosperity starts in Alaska.

[Congressman Nick Begich @RepNickBegich]

H.R. 41 has officially passed the House!

After 11 separate congressional introductions over 22 years and after over 50 years of advocacy from these communities, we have finally passed this important legislation out of the United States House!

Proud to advance legislation that honors existing agreements under ANCSA and provides a pathway for future economic development and self-determination for Alaska Native families in Haines, Ketchikan, Petersburg, Tenakee, and Wrangell.

[House Committee on Natural Resources @NatResources]

🪶@RepNickBegich's "Unrecognized Southeast Alaska Native Communities Recognition and Compensation Act," amends the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act to allow Haines, Ketchikan, Petersburg, Tenakee and Wrangell to organize into Alaska Native urban corporations and each select one township in Southeast Alaska within the Tongass National Forest.

[Secretary Doug Burgum @SecretaryBurgum]

This administration listens to the voices of the communities we serve.

@Interior restored ORV access for subsistence hunting in Gates of the Arctic National Park, answering decades of calls from Nunamiut people. No one cares for the land more than those who depend on it.

[Congressman Nick Begich @RepNickBegich]

Today, I had the privilege of joining fellow Alaskans in honoring the service members who never made it home. At the Anchorage Remembers Memorial Day Ceremony and the Veteran’s Wall of Honor in the Mat-Su Valley, we remembered the extraordinary sacrifice of America’s fallen heroes and the families they left behind.

[Congressman Nick Begich @RepNickBegich]

This Memorial Day, we pause to remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our nation.

Across Alaska and across America, we honor those who never came home and the servicemembers who gave their lives so that future generations could live in freedom.

[Secretary Doug Burgum @SecretaryBurgum]

Our freedom has been preserved by generations of brave Americans who answered the call to serve and gave their lives for our country. Today, and every day, we honor their courage, remember their sacrifice and recognize that freedom is never free. 🇺🇸

[Congressman Nick Begich @RepNickBegich]

Great day to be back on Kodiak Island. Had productive conversations about the infrastructure and investments needed to support our ports, fishing industry, and @USCG.

It was an honor to meet with a local hero - Trooper Anthony Will with the Alaska State Troopers who went above and beyond to save a local’s life who fell through the ice this spring. Thank you, @akstatetrooper for your service to Alaska’s communities.

After a markup marathon, I’m pleased to see the BUILD America 250 Act advance out of the House Transportation & Infrastructure Committee. This bipartisan surface transportation bill prioritizes core infrastructure and delivers real transportation investments for Alaska's roads, bridges, freight mobility, and rural infrastructure.

[T&I Committee Republicans @TransportGOP]

Following a 14-hour legislative markup, T&I approved the BUILD America 250 Act – a bipartisan, five-year surface transportation reauthorization bill that invests in America’s roads, bridges, transit, rail transportation, and highway and motor carrier safety programs. https://t.co/4XURQ5Shuv

GOP lawmaker unveils bill to codify a strategic bitcoin reserve https://t.co/j7DVxPH5Ty

[Congressman Pat Harrigan @RepPatHarrigan]

Proud to be one of those cosponsors.

Just as gold reserves anchored American financial security for generations, a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve positions the United States at the forefront of 21st century finance and out of reach of our adversaries.

[Rep. Mike Rulli @RepMichaelRulli]

There will only ever be 21 million Bitcoin.

While governments can print unlimited amounts of money, Bitcoin’s supply is permanently fixed.

That’s why I’m proud to support @RepNickBegich’s ARMA Act, legislation that recognizes the strategic importance of Bitcoin and helps secure America’s role as the Crypto Capital of the World 🇺🇸

[Rep. Riley M. Moore @RepRileyMoore]

America’s reserve assets must evolve alongside the global economy. Bitcoin and other strategic digital assets are becoming a crucial part of the financial future, and America must lead.

I’m proud to join @RepNickBegich as an original co-sponsor of the American Reserve Modernization Act to help codify President Trump’s strategic vision for Bitcoin and ensure the United States remains the world’s dominant economic power.

[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.

[House Committee on Natural Resources @NatResources]

Signed into Law ✅

Earlier this week, @POTUS signed @RepNickBegich’s H.R. 2815 into law! The Cape Fox Land Entitlement Finalization Act of 2025 delivers on America’s promise to Alaska natives, supports tribal sovereignty and strengthens energy production.

[Congressman Nick Begich @RepNickBegich]

“We often talk about infrastructure in terms of federal investment. But increasingly, the biggest obstacle isn’t a lack of investment; it’s the time it takes to get projects approved and built.”

[Congressman Nick Begich @RepNickBegich]

The Cape Fox Land Entitlement Finalization Act has officially been signed into law, honoring the promises made under ANCSA.

Proud to deliver on this important legislation, opening the door for new economic opportunities for rural Alaska communities.

[Congressman Nick Begich @RepNickBegich]

It was an honor to join @SecretaryBurgum for this historic effort to restore ORV access for subsistence hunting in Gates of the Arctic National Park Alaska. Thank you for recognizing Alaska’s right to self-determination and the way of life that defines the Last Frontier.

[Secretary Doug Burgum @SecretaryBurgum]

Honored to be with the Nunamiut people in Anaktuvuk Pass to celebrate freedom & self-determination.

After 40 years, we are restoring ORV use in Gates of the Arctic National Park for subsistence hunting, because no one knows or cares for this land more than the people who live here.

[Secretary Doug Burgum @SecretaryBurgum]

Ambler Road is more than infrastructure - it’s a pathway to unleashing American Energy Dominance and strengthening our mineral security.

Under @POTUS, we are unlocking Alaska’s vast resources to power America’s future with resources made here at home.

[Congressman Nick Begich @RepNickBegich]

It was great to welcome @AlaskaMiners Women’s Mining Coalition to Washington this week to talk about the growing national importance of Alaska’s mining industry and the important work they are doing in our state.

A secure domestic supply of critical minerals starts in Alaska!

[Congressman Nick Begich @RepNickBegich]

Thank you, @SecretaryBurgum for your testimony today before House Natural Resources. Alaska is central to America’s energy future and under the leadership at @Interior, Alaska is seeing opportunities finally unlocked for resource development, infrastructure, and energy production. Alaskans are grateful for this Administration’s support for Alaska as we work to support America’s energy and mineral independence.
