She has been a powerful voice for Alaska Natives, and consistently shares our priorities with her colleagues in the Senate to deliver for our communities.

For most of the past 40 years, the vast majority of our state government budget funds came from oil revenues.

OPINION: Waiting until the Alaska Federation of Natives conference in October to sign a bill declaring 20 indigenous languages official in Alaska has broad support and is not a political ploy by an incumbent governor and legislative majority during an election year.

OPINION: As women who serve in the Legislature and who voted for the bill that created Alaska's new oil tax policy, we want to lend a unique perspective on why we voted to pass Senate Bill 21 and why we will vote NO on 1 this August.

OPINION: In a recent report, Alaska Dispatch didn't say enough about the hard work Arctic Power does in its effort to open the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to oil and gas exploration.

The federal government will take more than 100 years to clean up and cap old, and environmentally dangerous oil wells it left open in Alaska's Arctic unless Alaskans speak up.

Federal cap-and-trade legislation has consequences that will hurt the nation's struggling economy.
