This includes congressional Review act actions and bills that repeal rules such as the so called BLM conservation rule that are being used to end multiple use precedent and by extension, crush Alaska jobs and energy production. Unfortunately, My opponent voted against legislation that would have required rules such as these, and I'm referring to the West act, which she voted against and would have required the BLM conservation and landscape health rule to be withdrawn. Yesterday's announcement here in the state of Alaska is a perfect example. And this is what a hostile administration to Alaska looks like as they took another 10% of Alaska lands off the table for responsible development. (10:33–10:48)
