Opinion: Understanding NGOs in Alaska
By Greg Sarber
NGOs have gotten involved in politics here in Alaska, and most voters do not understand what they are or how they try to influence you. I had personal contact with one last week when a representative of an Anchorage NGO visited me at my home. The woman was attacking Senator Dan Sullivan, and after the visit, I was wondering how it was legal for a non-profit to be politically active, so I dug a little deeper. Here is what I found.
First, you have to understand what a Non-Governmental Organization is and the rules that govern them to determine if they are doing something that might be improper.

Thanks to Sen. Dan Sullivan's leadership, the Coast Guard is receiving HISTORIC investments to strengthen Alaska's waters, communities, and future.

Alaska is staring down an electricity crisis that didn’t have to happen.
The Railbelt the 700-mile corridor that keeps the lights on for roughly 75% of Alaskans from Fairbanks to Homer has run on Cook Inlet natural gas since the 1960s.
That fuel source is running out due to lack of business security with our state and lack of exploration investment. So it’s correct the Proven reserves have crashed from 16 trillion cubic feet in the 1970s to under 2.5 Tcf today. Major utilities have already said supply contracts beyond 2028–2030 are uncertain.
The fallback being whispered about? Importing LNG from Asia or the Gulf Coast at three to five times the cost while we keep exporting coal to South Korea.
At the same time, the physical grid is one spark, quake, or equipment failure away from repeating the 2019 Kenai Peninsula disaster, when wildfire took out the Sterling-Quartz Creek line and the entire peninsula was islanded for four months, costing ratepayers more than $10 million in emergency diesel.
Right now the average Railbelt household pays $0.22–$0.28 per kWh.
That’s $2,200–$2,800 a year for a typical 10,000 kWh home.
Line losses of 17–20% on the long Fairbanks segments mean ratepayers already pay for power that never shows up.
Five active U.S. military bases depend on this fragile single-spine system. National security briefings have flagged it for years.
We own the coal… YES, Alaska holds about half of all estimated U.S. coal resources, with South-Central fields alone offering 800+ years of supply at the scale we’d actually use.
We own the Alaska Railroad that runs right past those fields. We have the right-of-way.
The only missing ingredient is the political will to build generation that serves Alaskans instead of outside shareholders and import terminals.

THIS IS HUGE
The Federal Trade Commission, along with Alaska, Iowa, Nebraska, and Texas, is SUING the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (@wpath) for deceptively claiming that radical trans medical procedures for CHILDREN are "medically necessary" and "safe."
The lawsuit details how the organization promoted the genital mutilation and chemical castration of CHILDREN while failing to disclose detrimental, life-altering side effects.
This is one of the largest medical scandals in modern history! So many people belong in prison for this!
🇺🇲 Senator Dan S. Sullivan, as a veteran, goes above and beyond the call of duty by supporting pay raises for our troops and better healthcare access for veterans.
Call and tell Senator Dan S. Sullivan to keep supporting Alaska’s veterans: 907-271-5915

“Let’s Build This Damn Line:” Laborers, Union Leaders, and AK LNG Project Leaders Gather to Sign Labor Memorandum
This morning, June 11, Glenfarne Alaska LNG and Alaska’s Building Trades signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) regarding labor for the Alaska LNG gasline. According to Joey Merrick, President of the Alaska Petroleum Joint Crafts Council, the MOU ensures Alaskans will be prioritized for jobs created by the gasline project and that every Alaskan who wants to work on the project has an opportunity to do so.
Laborers, union leaders, and project leaders gathered at the Alaska Laborers Training School to announce the signing of the memorandum.
“Today is about opportunity. It is about Alaska workers. It is about Alaska’s future,” stated Merrick. He emphasized the 12,000 jobs that the project creates, which will be filled first by Alaskans with the remaining jobs filled by lower 48 laborers. Merrick commented: “This is what this agreement represents: partnership, accountability, and opportunity.”
Adam Prestidge, President of Glenfarne Alaska LNG, gave a brief speech, stating that Glenfarne is “thrilled by the fortitude and commitment” of Alaskan laborers and leaders. Prestidge said, “today gives a resounding yes” to the question of whether the gasline can be built.

Fourth Icebreaker Announced for Homeporting in Alaska
Due to a coordinated effort by Alaska’s Congressional Delegation, the President, and the U.S. Coast Guard, four Arctic Security Cutters or icebreakers have been secured for homeporting in Alaska. The securement of the first three icebreakers for Alaska was announced April 16, this year. The addition of the fourth icebreaker was announced this morning, June 11th.
The existing icebreaker, the Storis, was commissioned in Juneau, August 10, 2025. The next two icebreakers will be homeported in Kodiak following construction and the fourth will be homeported in Seward.
Congress has secured funding for a total of 11 Arctic Security Cutters for America. The first two to be built will go to Kodiak. The icebreaker to be homeported in Seward will be the sixth or seventh icebreaker built.
