I came out in 1992 at 17. Back then, I never dreamed I’d ever be a husband, a father, a veteran, or a legislator. So grateful to live in a country where a life like mine is possible. Let’s make sure the next generation has the same opportunities. 🇺🇸#NationalComingOutDay

Far too many Alaska families are already squeezed by the crushing cost of living. The massive healthcare price hikes Dan Sullivan voted for will push them off the edge. This isn't sustainable. We need new leadership.

HONORING
TESSA HULLS
The members of the Thirty-Fourth Alaska State Legislature extend their congratulations to Tessa Hulls 
for receiving the 2025 Pulitzer Prize in Memoir and Autobiography for her graphic novel, Feeding Ghosts.
As only the second graphic novel in history to earn this prestigious distinction, Feeding Ghosts is a 
testament to the exceptional creativity, originality, and talent of its author.
Tessa’s lifelong love of reading—nurtured during a childhood without television and fueled by endless 
hours in libraries and the outdoors—laid the foundation for her remarkable artistic journey. Over the course of 
nearly a decade traveling across all seven continents, Tessa meticulously crafted her debut work, a deeply 
personal and ambitious project combining visual artistry with profound narrative depth.
The Pulitzer Prize committee, through administrator Marjorie Miller, praised Feeding Ghosts as “an 
affecting work of literary art and discovery whose illustrations bring to life three generations of Chinese 
women—the author, her mother, and grandmother—and the experience of trauma handed down with 
family histories.”
This national recognition reflects not only Tessa’s immense skill and dedication, but also underscores 
the vital cultural contribution of her work. Her achievement brings great pride to the Juneau community and the 
entire state of Alaska.
The members of the Thirty-Fourth Alaska State Legislature recognize and celebrate the extraordinary 
accomplishment of Tessa Hulls, as one of Alaska’s most distinguished writers and artists. Her profound cultural 
impact will continue to inspire Alaskans of all ages for years to come, and her success in Feeding Ghosts marks 
only the beginning of a lasting literary legacy.
