Alaska fishermen!! My team and I worked to make sure you are eligible for USDA’s new $8 billion Harvest Fuel Relief Program! Please start compiling and submitting reliable data on your vessels’ fuel consumption and costs to HarvestFuel@usda.gov as soon as possible. Fishermen are also encouraged to set up a Login.gov account ahead of the forthcoming application period.

Great to be in Fairbanks celebrating a $16 million Rural Health Transformation Fund award for Fairbanks Memorial Hospital—the largest award in the state and one of the largest in the entire country! This innovative project will strengthen health care, create jobs, and benefit communities across the Interior. A tremendous team effort with enormous promise for Fairbanks and all of Alaska.

Great news yesterday at AFN! The Department of Energy announced nearly $50 million for Tribal energy projects across Alaska—part of the largest-ever round of Tribal energy investments in the history of DOE’s Office of Indian Energy.

The high cost of energy is one of the biggest challenges facing our state, particularly in rural Alaska. These investments will help strengthen energy infrastructure, improve reliability, and bring down costs for Alaska families.

The long-term solution for lower energy costs is producing more Alaska energy, by and for Alaskans, and that’s exactly what these investments will help us achieve.

Yesterday, we announced a major win for the Mat-Su Borough and all of Alaska: $249 million to finally complete the long-awaited Port MacKenzie Rail Extension! This investment will unlock new opportunities for resource development, create good-paying jobs, strengthen our supply chains, and bolster America's economic and national security.

Great trip to Homer! I was able to see firsthand the virtuous cycle of shipbuilding happening throughout our great state: more Coast Guard and NOAA vessels mean more shipbuilding and more good-paying jobs for Alaskans. Thank you to Eric Engebretsen, head of Bay Weld, and Representative Sarah Vance for showing me around. Stay tuned, there's a lot more exciting work ahead in Homer!
