Alaskans deserve a senator who has a plan to tackle the rising cost of living, not one who dodges the question. Dan should be embarrassed.

I like to say if you’ve been to one village, you’ve been to one village. We have more than 220 villages across Alaska, and every one of them deserves a voice in this campaign. Grateful for the warm welcome up here in the North Slope!

Yes post COVID inflation started while Biden was President and then he and the Fed got inflation back down to 2.5% when he left office. All price increases now are 100% Trump’s fault due to tariffs, war, and mass deportation.

A child had to watch their father get shot by ICE. Our babies deserve to be kids. Not live in fear. Not locked in cages. And not be caught in gunfire while in the back seat of a car. This rogue ICE agency is out of control. Enough.

Another ICE shooting, this time in NY, shooting into a car with a child in the vehicle. There must be a full and independent investigation by state and local authorities and ICE must cooperate. Trump’s lawless, reckless ICE isn’t making communities safer.

As if Trump cutting SNAP benefits and leaving more than 120,000 Ohioans struggling to feed their families wasn't bad enough, last week another $38 million in cuts to Ohio's SNAP program kicked in. By slashing SNAP resources, Republicans are putting millions of Americans at risk.

"Evangelicals" are no more likely to pray, attend church, or even believe in a higher power than Black protestants or Hispanic Catholics. They don't share a common doctrinal or religious philosophy. So why do pollsters, pundits and political media perpetuate the myth of "evangelical Christians"?
