Veterans Day is sacred in Alaska, the state with more veterans per capita than any other. Today, we take time to recognize and honor the men and women who’ve answered the call to defend our nation and their family members who sacrifice in their own way too. 🇺🇸

[Sen. Dan Sullivan @SenDanSullivan]

Thank you, @SenRickScott. I appreciate your leadership and efforts to make the most of every remaining day of our Republican majority. We have a lot of work left to do for the American people, and we need to keep delivering.

[Rick Scott @SenRickScott]

While we had a robust conversation about what Republicans can do to block the Democrats’ socialist agenda, the Senate Republican Conference decided to proceed with the leadership elections today. There was no recorded vote for leadership so nobody was given the opportunity to support or oppose the candidates.

During our conference meeting, I made a motion for the conference to agree to stay in Washington to get things done. The conference unanimously agreed to my motion and committed to maximize our time in Washington to get our agenda done and my expectation is that we work every single day for the American people.

Republicans need to wake up and listen to our constituents. We need to have a plan to get things done for the American people before we lose the majority. I am going to fight to keep the Senate in session, working every single day until we confirm every nominee, every judge, and pass critical Republican bills to support jobs, lower prices, secure our elections, and hold Washington accountable.

Aside from husband and father, the title I’m most proud of is United States Marine. Today, the @USMC—the greatest fighting force in human history—is celebrating 251 years of defending our great nation.

Wishing all of my fellow Marines a Happy Marine Corps Birthday! Semper Fi. 🇺🇸

Great to be in Fairbanks celebrating a $16 million Rural Health Transformation Fund award for Fairbanks Memorial Hospital—the largest award in the state and one of the largest in the entire country! This innovative project will strengthen health care, create jobs, and benefit communities across the Interior. A tremendous team effort with enormous promise for Fairbanks and all of Alaska.

Great news yesterday at AFN! The Department of Energy announced nearly $50 million for Tribal energy projects across Alaska—part of the largest-ever round of Tribal energy investments in the history of DOE’s Office of Indian Energy.

The high cost of energy is one of the biggest challenges facing our state, particularly in rural Alaska. These investments will help strengthen energy infrastructure, improve reliability, and bring down costs for Alaska families.

The long-term solution for lower energy costs is producing more Alaska energy, by and for Alaskans, and that’s exactly what these investments will help us achieve.

[U.S. Department of Energy @ENERGY]

Yesterday, the Energy Department announced major investments towards Tribal communities energy infrastructure that will lower energy costs for Americans! 🇺🇸

[Sen. Dan Sullivan @SenDanSullivan]

Yesterday, we announced a major win for the Mat-Su Borough and all of Alaska: $249 million to finally complete the long-awaited Port MacKenzie Rail Extension! This investment will unlock new opportunities for resource development, create good-paying jobs, strengthen our supply chains, and bolster America's economic and national security.

[Sen. Dan Sullivan @SenDanSullivan]

I want to thank @SecDuffy for joining us in Palmer for this historic announcement, and I want to commend @RepNickBegich, @lisamurkowski, @GovDunleavy, the @MatSuBorough, the @AKRR, AIDEA, and all the local, state, and federal partners who’ve worked for years to make this project a reality.

[Sen. Dan Sullivan @SenDanSullivan]

Great trip to Homer! I was able to see firsthand the virtuous cycle of shipbuilding happening throughout our great state: more Coast Guard and NOAA vessels mean more shipbuilding and more good-paying jobs for Alaskans. Thank you to Eric Engebretsen, head of Bay Weld, and Representative Sarah Vance for showing me around. Stay tuned, there's a lot more exciting work ahead in Homer!

[Sen. Dan Sullivan @SenDanSullivan]

On October 18, 159 years ago, the territory of Alaska was formally transferred to the United States, and the Russian flag was lowered in Sitka. Since then, our state has proven itself to be vitally important to our country with our abundant resources, unrivaled strategic location and, most importantly, the people, including Alaska Natives who have called this land home for millennia. Happy Alaska Day!!

[Sen. Dan Sullivan @SenDanSullivan]

I always try to greet our Honor Flights when they come to DC to visit the memorials built in their honor or when they come back home to Alaska. As Julie and I were heading to Fairbanks this afternoon, we had a great opportunity to greet our heroes on their arrival back home. Take a look at this parade in Ted Stevens airport. Semper Fi!

[Sen. Dan Sullivan @SenDanSullivan]

Alaska is home to some of the best military service members on the planet. And we need to make sure they have the best equipment and resources to accomplish their missions. That’s why we’re undertaking the largest military buildup in Alaska’s history!

I’m going to keep fighting to bring more military assets to Alaska, to strengthen our national security, create good-paying jobs and provide opportunities for our contractors and small businesses. 💪

[Sen. Dan Sullivan @SenDanSullivan]

Thank you, @VP, for the kind words. But the real credit goes to the brave men and women in uniform who keep our country safe.

[Sen. Dan Sullivan @SenDanSullivan]

Great meeting with the hardworking employees at ConocoPhillips who help create good paying jobs and strong communities for their fellow Alaskans!

[Sen. Dan Sullivan @SenDanSullivan]

Alaskans have a right to produce our own energy and grow our economy. That’s why I put forward the Alaska’s Right to Produce Act 2.0 last week—legislation to protect the gains we’ve made in unlocking the ANWR Coastal Plain and NPR-A from a future lock-up, as was done under President Biden and Democratic Senate Leader Chuck Schumer.

Unfortunately, my Democratic colleagues blocked the legislation, which should indicate what they have in mind for our state if they ever control the Senate again. I will always fight for Alaskans’ ability to realize our state’s full potential for the benefit of our hard-working families and communities.

[Sen. Dan Sullivan @SenDanSullivan]

On Saturday in Whittier, Alaskans gathered to commission the USS Ted Stevens—a state-of-the-art Navy warship fittingly named after our tenacious, late great Senator who served his country in so many different ways. Ted Stevens understood, perhaps better than anyone else, how important Alaska is to America’s security. Many of the major accomplishments we’re delivering today, including the largest military build-up in Alaska’s history, were made possible by the groundwork Senator Stevens laid over the course of decades.

To the men and women serving aboard the USS Ted Stevens: you are now the stewards of his legacy of courage, patriotism, and service. May that legacy live on in every mission you undertake.

Lead with courage. ⚓️🇺🇸

I had a great time meeting with the Ketchikan Wellness Coalition earlier this week and was able to congratulate them on receiving Rural Health Transformation Program funding!

The funding will expand their Malasakit Matters: Filipino Healthy Community Project, to build health knowledge across the Filipino communities of Ketchikan and Prince of Wales.

This is just one of six programs in Ketchikan to receive Rural Health Transformation funding. I’m looking forward to seeing everything they accomplish!

Big news for Wrangell! The U.S. Department of Commerce is awarding the City and Borough more than $43 million to support three projects: a deep water port and shipyard, a downtown waterfront expansion and marine infrastructure improvements, and a replacement for the Wrangell water flume.

Together, they'll help establish Wrangell as a modern marine industrial hub serving the Coast Guard and our military, NOAA, and commercial vessels, while attracting local and private investments.

It was great to be with everyone in Wrangell earlier this week for the big announcement. Excited to see work on these projects begin!
