Education saved and changed my life.

  Friend, Like many Alaskan children, educators lifted up my brothers and me. They made us feel safe and ready to reach our potential. Coming from a home with much dysfunction, the adults in our school brought a sense of continuity and motivation inspiring us to work toward becoming our …

Keeping up with Team Alyse

Friends, Running for Congress is important hard work and being out on the campaign trail is so rewarding. Campaigning isn’t all about holding events and making phone calls. Every time I leave my house, it’s an opportunity to meet folks and get our message out. That’s why I wanted …

This issue is personal to me

Friends, I remember watching my grandmother cut her pills in half because her prescription was so expensive. I remember shaming her for not prioritizing her health and being frustrated at her refusal to listen to her doctor or to me. I know that for many here in Alaska and around …

Threats to women’s health continue

Friends, Today marks the 47th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision. This anniversary serves as a reminder of how far we have come and how much farther we have to go. We are still facing threats to our control over our own decisions about our health care. In Congress, I will work to …

Let’s make this the last anniversary of Citizens United

Friends, Reflecting and learning from history is important. It’s been ten years since the Supreme Court handed down the Citizens United decision, giving special interest and dark money groups the power to drown out the voices of American people. Alaskans are working to support the…

Alaska is ‘ground zero’ for climate change

Friends, Here in Alaska, we don’t get to debate whether the science behind climate change is real. We don’t get to talk about 2040, 2050, or some time far into the future when the effects of climate change will change our way of life. For folks that live in places like Shishmaref, Alask…
