Alaska has gotten more out of the 118th Congress in per capita funding than almost any state. And that isn't an accident. Having a politically balanced delegation means we can talk to anyone from any angle. We can get a meeting with a republican or a democratic president.

Too much is riding on federal support to put all of our eggs in one political basket. (22:36–22:53)
