Should lease sales continue on federal land in Alaska? If so, so what will you do as our representative in Congress to ensure stable, predictable lease sales on federal land in Alaska? Absolutely. We should be holding regular lease sales on federal lands in Alaska, including in Cook Inlet, in the NPRA, and on the coastal plain as required by law. We need those to bolster resource development and create jobs for Alaskans across the state. You cannot tell me that it is better to import lng than it is to produce our own gas from our own cook inlet. (24:41–24:51)
