Dan Sullivan“what I've been doing in my position as your senator is engaging.

Dan Sullivan“I was very much in the mindset that it's time to settle the litigation. As the mayor, as the attorney general said, this has been going on for more than a decade. We have won, and the federal government shouldn't just be dragging its feet. Enough is enough.”

Suzanne LaFrance“every federal or state dollar that we secure for construction reduces the impact of future shipping surcharges by about $2.50 down the line. When you add this $191.3 million settlement to the $25 million from the state and the $61.5 million in federal grants secured under my administration, The impact is massive. We are effectively protecting Alaskans from as much as $694 million in future surcharges on food, goods, and everyday supplies.”
