“Today marks a historic moment for our country as we witnessed the swearing-in of our 47th President, Donald J. Trump. I am proud to stand with this administration and look forward to working alongside them to drive bold new policies that protect our national interests and create opportunities for hardworking Americans. The clear mandate given to the President by the American people underscores the responsibility we share in moving our nation forward. Our work to support this vision has already begun: my team and I have been working with President Trump’s team over the previous months to prepare and execute a plan that will open the state of Alaska once again. Our state has a friend and ally in President Trump, and the work that lies ahead will bear fruit not only for the betterment of every American but especially for Alaskans, who are ready to embrace renewed prosperity across our wonderful state. Today marks a new chapter in America’s story, one of optimism, opportunity, and success for all.”
