Today, I attended my first press availability of the session with some of my colleagues. I brought up that in the last year, #Alaska has lost 3,000 oil and gas related jobs. I am committed to finding solutions to increase job opportunities in our state which is why I sponsored SB 69. This bill attempts to make the current regulations less burdensome for renewable energy producers so they can more effectively invest in the Alaskan economy.
Shout out to my colleagues for their time and members of the press who asked great questions!
