As a Birthday present to myself, I’m leaving behind Twitter. This will be my last tweet. I don’t support Musk’s retweeting of baseless conspiracies and allowance of hate. Stay in touch with me through my https://t.co/UrgCzqy7qS website or contact me at [email protected] #akleg

forward. Ben helped shape Alaska as Chief of Staff to the Governor, as Senate President, as an activist, and as an Alaskan. He will be missed by his friends and especially his family. My thoughts go out to all of his family in their time of grief.

[Senator Tom Begich @TomBegich]

Ben made his place known in Alaska politics. There were times we agreed and many times we sparred on policy. He was a bulldog, but when it came down to it, we always had the ability to work with one another to determine how best to move this great state... https://t.co/Nzd2gZxPX0

Yesterday at our Anchorage office, some of my legislative colleagues and I met with Korean Consul in Anchorage, Sang Seung-man, and the Consul General in Seattle, Seo Eunji, as well as their staff. We discussed many topics impacting both the Republic of Korea and Alaska. #akleg

The impact on Western Alaska from this historic storm is heartbreaking. Alaska, let’s pay it forward. If you have the means, please donate to local charities that are assisting in helping communities throughout Western Alaska. https://t.co/74I3Q0q60N #akleg

I come from a family of teachers and workers who have been represented by organized labor. Today we celebrate all the gains made by labor - a fair wage and work week, the end of child labor, decent working conditions, and so much more. Wishing all a very happy Labor Day! #akleg

Congratulations to our next member of Congress, @MaryPeltola! This is a historic day:

Thank you to my colleague Rep. @IvySpohnholz for these important notes and figures on #WomensEqualityDay. It is a wonder our nation still struggles for the basic rights for half of our population. A just society is one that values equality. #akleg #akelect

[Ivy Spohnholz @IvySpohnholz]

On August 26, 1920 the certification of the 19th Amendment to the Constitution granted women the right to vote. This was the culmination of a massive, peaceful civil rights movement. #WomensEqualityDay reminds us to fight for full equality. #akleg 1/
