We started by recognizing the passing of our longtime congressman, Congressman Don Young. I can tell you that today Don Young is still working for Alaska and for all of us. The $8.2 billion that our senators and I have secured in the last two years is part of Don's legacy. A legacy of putting Alaskans first and delivering for Alaskans. I have moved historic Donyoung bills forward this congress, like the power 2.0 act, legislation to establish an ambassador for arctic affairs, expand WIC eligible foods, and more. (01:32–01:42)
