While Congressman Nick Begich III was in policy meetings in Miami with the Republicans of the U.S. House, his son, Nick Begich IV, was having his own “high-level” meetings.
Nick turned 13 on Tuesday, and was greeted by House Speaker Mike Johnson, who asked him to join in an adjacent meeting room, where he was introduced to Vice President JD Vance. The photos speak for themselves.
It was an unexpected birthday experience for the newly minted teenager that Congressman Begich celebrated on social media.
“As a father, there is no greater feeling than seeing your kids develop a love for their country and an understanding of what makes our nation so special,” Congressman Begich wrote, as he posted photographs of the younger Nick with both Speaker Johnson and Vice President Vance.
Then it got even better. Speaker Johnson noticed the cheery item on social media and shared it with the wold on his own X feed, where there are 928,000 followers who could see the birthday photos of the young Alaskan.
The Republican conference has embraced Begich and his family. As Alaska sees Congressman Begich making strides to grow Alaska’s prominence in the national debates about energy and economy, it’s also about family, and making sure the future has ample opportunity for future generations.
Whatever days away from the classroom young Nick has spent in Miami may have been exceeded by the education of a lifetime. Nick IV’s 13th birthday will be hard to top next year.
That kid is going to be the exact opposite of a Hunter Biden.
Yes sir, And a Murkowski
…. God willing.
It is really nice to see a true REPRESENTATIVE for Alaska in the House that isn’t running around perpetuating painful regulations, like the previous ridiculous person. I hope he is successful in staying in DC to represent us for a few terms. Some continuity in Alaska would be nice. Now, if we can find a replacement for Lisa for 2029, that would be good.
Excellent.
The 4th?
Nothing against this fine young man or his dad, but I am sick of political nepotism.
Perhaps he & Mark’s only son can run against each other someday.
Won’t that be special.
How awesome! So happy for him!
