As Chairman of the Indian Affairs Committee, I’m proud of the bipartisan progress we made this week in advancing these eight bills through committee to the Senate floor, including my bill the Southcentral Foundation Land Transfer Act of 2025. We are now one step closer to enactment, and therefore, enabling SCF to make the needed investments in Quyana Clubhouse to expand the delivery of mental health and social services.
Today I pressed DOJ on proposed cuts to law enforcement and violence prevention grants, including programs that support rural police departments, Tribal justice efforts, and survivors of domestic violence. Alaska’s communities already face enormous challenges with distance, cost, and a limited work force. They cannot afford to lose access to these critical resources.
I also raised concerns about the removal of the Not Invisible Act Commission report from DOJ and Interior websites. I’m monitoring these items closely and pushing to ensure Alaska’s rural and Native communities remain a priority.

Happy Birthday, Head Start! For 61 years, Head Start has helped more than 40 million children and families nationwide reach their full potential in school and in life. This year alone, more than 3,000 children and 2,500 families are participating in one of Alaska’s 17 Head Start programs across the state. I’m proud to support Head Start and Early Head Start programs that give young Alaskans opportunities to learn, thrive, and succeed while helping build stronger communities.
Today, we celebrate 61 years of Head Start!
Since 1965, this program has helped millions of children and families build stronger futures. It supports early learning, strengthens communities, and creates opportunity across the country.
This milestone reflects the impact of generations of families, educators, and communities who have made Head Start what it is today.
