I had a great time meeting with the Ketchikan Wellness Coalition earlier this week and was able to congratulate them on receiving Rural Health Transformation Program funding! The funding will expand their Malasakit Matters: Filipino Healthy Community Project, to build health knowledge across the Filipino communities of Ketchikan and Prince of Wales. This is just one of six programs in Ketchikan to receive Rural Health Transformation funding. I’m looking forward to seeing everything they accomplish!

Big news for Wrangell! The U.S. Department of Commerce is awarding the City and Borough more than $43 million to support three projects: a deep water port and shipyard, a downtown waterfront expansion and marine infrastructure improvements, and a replacement for the Wrangell water flume. Together, they'll help establish Wrangell as a modern marine industrial hub serving the Coast Guard and our military, NOAA, and commercial vessels, while attracting local and private investments. It was great to be with everyone in Wrangell earlier this week for the big announcement. Excited to see work on these projects begin!

It’s been a team effort with Alaskans behind me all the way. The reason we’ve been so relentless on this is because Alaska LNG if by far the most important project for our future.

Alaska LNG is happening thanks to a $50 billion+ investment from South Korea that we announced today at the @WhiteHouse. This project will deliver low-cost energy for Alaskans for generations and create 10,000+ good-paying jobs. A historic day for our state!

Thank you to Trill Gates and @YourAlaskaLink for coming to DC during a big week that saw my Bycatch Reduction Act and Cold Weather Diesel Reliability Act pass out of their committees with bipartisan support!

Julie and I were honored to join the Alaskan Federation of Filipino Americans for their 23rd Annual Founders' celebration! This community represents so much of what matters to all of us: faith, hard work, love of family, patriotism, and military service. The friendship between the United States and the Philippines remains very strong, but the strongest connection is right here in the families, businesses, and churches that call Alaska home. 🇺🇸🇵🇭

After working alongside Alaskans for years, we’re making progress on my Bycatch Reduction Act—the most comprehensive bycatch bill introduced in Congress. It passed out of the Commerce Committee but was blocked by Democrats when I brought it for a vote on the Senate floor. But we aren’t done. We’re going to pass this bill and reduce trawl bycatch!

For more than 30 years, Alaskans have been asking for a life-saving road connecting King Cove to Cold Bay—and we’re closer than ever. On my last trip to King Cove, I was honored to be joined by the leaders working to get this project across the finish line, including Mayor Warren Wilson, Commissioner of the Alaska Department of Transportation Ryan Anderson, and Sean McMaster, Administrator of the Federal Highway Administration. The great people of King Cove have waited way too long. Let’s get this done!

Exciting news for Alaska! The Coast Guard has awarded a $315 million contract for the design and construction of a cutter mooring and new fuel pier at Base Kodiak. This is great news for our Coast Guard, Alaska’s economy, and the hard-working families of Kodiak. Looking forward to seeing these projects break ground as Kodiak prepares to welcome major Coast Guard assets—including 2 new icebreakers, 2 offshore patrol cutters, and hundreds of new Coasties and their families!

Alaska, it's here! FAT BEAR WEEK 2026! 🐻 The brown bears of @KatmaiNPS spent all summer feasting on salmon, and now it's time to crown the most winter-ready bear. Vote at fatbearweek.org. I'm backing our reigning champ, Chunk, for a repeat win. May the fattest bear win!

America is an Arctic nation because of Alaska, and Arctic security is critically important to American security. The Trump administration understands this. That is why, working together, we’ve delivered the largest military build-up in Alaska since World War II. Greenland is likewise strategically vital to American and NATO security, as it was throughout the Cold War. I applaud @POTUS, @SecRubio, and others on the very important agreement reached today by the U.S., Denmark, and Greenland, which expands our security cooperation, strengthens America’s military access to Greenland, and prevents our adversaries from gaining a foothold in this important territory. From expanded basing and access for American forces to the development of the Golden Dome missile defense system, this agreement paves the way for a stronger NATO alliance and a more secure American homeland.

G’mar Tov to Alaska’s “Frozen Chosen” and to the Jewish community around the world observing Yom Kippur, a solemn day of atonement and renewal and the holiest day of the year on the Hebrew calendar. Wishing all those observing an easy fast and all the best in the new year!

For years, Obama-era diesel regulations that cause trucks to stop working in extreme cold have put Alaskans in danger. The EPA even criminalized local mechanics who were simply trying to keep drivers safe. I worked with these mechanics to get them presidential pardons, but we must fix the system for good. That is why I introduced the Cold Weather Diesel Reliability Act, which recently passed the EPW committee and is heading to the Senate floor! This bill will finally stop these dangerous, one-size-fits-all policies from being forced on Alaska.

Alaska is the hub of American air combat power for the Arctic and Indo-Pacific. We’re proud of our brave Airmen—Active Duty, Guard, Reserve, and veterans—and their families who stand watch and defend freedom every day. Happy Birthday to the @USAirForce!

The @SenateCommerce Committee passed my Bycatch Reduction Act, with overwhelming support. It’s the most comprehensive bycatch bill ever introduced in the Congress. Written with the input from hundreds of Alaskans, this bill will reduce bycatch, protect our seafloor, and strengthen Alaska’s fisheries. Now, let’s get it across the finish line! radiokenai.com/sullivan-byca…

It's National Truck Driver Appreciation Week, and here in Alaska, we appreciate our truckers! Nearly all of our communities rely entirely on trucks to get the supplies they need—no truckers, no goods, it's that simple. Behind every delivery is one of the nearly 13,000 people working in Alaska's trucking industry, representing 1 in every 19 workers statewide. To our truck drivers: thank you for keeping our great state moving, mile after mile. 🚛

The @EPWGOP passed my Cold Weather Diesel Reliability Act! My bill ends an EPA compliance trap and prevents the dangerous shutdown of engines in extreme cold temperatures. This is a huge step forward for truckers, farmers, mechanics and operators who keep Alaska and our nation moving.

Over the past few years, I’ve talked with hundreds and hundreds of Alaskans about our declining salmon runs in some of our waterways—fishermen, Alaska Native leaders, and community members—listening to their concerns, hearing their ideas, and working with them on solutions. Today, that work reached a major milestone. My Bycatch Reduction Act—the most comprehensive bycatch bill ever introduced in the Congress—passed out of the @SenateCommerce Committee. Four Democrats voted against it, including a Washington State senator. Now, this legislation is headed to the Senate floor. It’s the result of listening to Alaskans, bringing their concerns to Washington, and turning their ideas into action.
