A ‘problem gambling’ program shows the Tribe knows the harm a casino will do to Alaskans. While Tribes have sovereign authority to make bad choices, this one is a real doozy.

Why did DEED change its tune?? Because 👏of 👏you👏 Your 600 comments. Your relentless push for transparency, fact-based findings, and accountability. Alaska's kids were at risk of losing lunch programs, after school activities, family supports, and you stood up. I couldn't be more thankful.

My office took a painful call this week. A woman wanted help for her boyfriend from Juneau. For more than a year they've talked online. She helped him financially-—sending her retirement savings and borrowing against her house. She still didn't realize: he's not real. A classic 'romance scam.' 1/2

Flood peak is expected tomorrow morning, between 11 and 12 feet. By comparison, this summer’s flood was 16.65 feet. Things should be OK, but a lot of people will be watching anxiously. #akwx #Alaska

Today we overrode Governor Dunleavy’s vetoes of school funding and the audit bill. It’s a shame it came to this, but a supermajority knew: schools need funding and Alaskans need the auditor checking the books. I hope next time we’ll find ways to move Alaska forward by collaborating.

Yesterday the governor vetoed SB 156, my bill helping small Alaska fishing businesses. That’s a weird move. First because it built on work I helped him do last year. I was glad to help Alaskans, and even though my name was on that policy I took pains to share credit with the governor. 1/3

Juneau is now at measurable precipitation in 39 of the prior 40 days. This last occurred in 1999 when there was an amazing streak of 49 consecutive days and 71 out of 72 days. Only 3 other instances (39 out of 40 days) have occurred in the 82-year period of record. @alaskawx.bsky.social

Public testimony pro-tip: DON'T USE the speaker phone or hands free headsets. Your voice gets muffled and words become garbled. Speak through your handheld to ensure the committee members hear your input. 🤳☎️📲 Now, go tell your friends.

Senate Bill 31 would allow law enforcement officers and victims of certain crimes to enroll in a program that gives them a P.O. Box as a mailing address, to keep their home address confidential on public filings and other documents.

Revived bill would allow victims of domestic violence, law enforcement to make home addresses private

More than 40 states have similar programs for victims of crime, but Sen. Jesse Kiehl’s bill adds correctional officers and police to the legislation.

JAR’s annual calendar is made up of pets who win a photo contest, voted on by the community. And the whole thing — from the contest to the calendars themselves — is a fundraiser to support the daily needs of all the pets waiting to be adopted at the shelter.

To clear up any confusion: Elimination of WEP & GPO provisions of Social Security are great news for thousands of Alaskans. But doesn’t change fact Alaska still has worst retirement system in America. AK teachers, police and firefighters still get no pension & no Social Security

Alaska airports are making solid progress getting rid of toxic PFAS since my bill. DOT and CCFR are leading the way! Next step: DEC is working to help rural villages get rid of old PFAS poison under the bill. They plan to get started early in the new year!

Got to give a Capitol tour to the Soldotna High hockey team this afternoon. Fine young Alaskans! Also, Go #crimsonbears!

Senator Jesse Kiehl stands in front of pictures of all Alaska governors since statehood, surrounded by Soldotna High School hockey players

Senator Jesse Kiehl stands leaning on his desk on the otherwise empty floor of the Alaska Senate, speaking to Soldotna High School hockey players and a coach, seated in the public gallery. There is a ladder in the foreground and the senators’ chairs are missing from their desks.

Senator Jesse Kiehl stands in front of the Senate Finance Committee table in the Capitol in Juneau, talking to Soldotna High School hockey players. There is a scaffold in the background along the rear wall of the committee room.

Soldotna High School hockey players walk down the central staircase in the Alaska Capitol. The central well goes down six stories and students are seen along several floors of marble stairs. The bannisters are draped with plastic holiday garlands that look like evergreen boughs twined with red ribbons.

Pardoning your own family is not why Americans grant a president power. And it just boosts the garbage lines about ‘they’re all corrupt’ and ‘they’re all the same.’ We build a better America by doing good for people and working to stop bad stuff. Perks for our own families should be off the list.
