    Keeping our families fed and healthy is such a challenge throughout Alaska. I joined a roundtable at the Anchorage Food Bank where I heard from a variety of sectors about how SNAP supports local economies, public health, and local agriculture.

    Met w/ the staff of Mat-Su Regional Hospital to view their facility & discuss their need to expand. They often find themselves far over capacity, particularly in terms of behavioral health patients. We must ensure hospitals are equipped to care for our most vulnerable Alaskans.

    Loved joining Government Hill Elementary, at Barnes and Noble in Anchorage where I had the chance to read to students during story hour and catch up w/ my son’s former Kindergarten teacher. For face painting, of course I had to get Alaska’s state flower, the Forget Me Not.

    Those of you who grew up in Anchorage are probably well-acquainted with the iconic Jewel Lake Tastee Freez. I had a great time celebrating the company’s 60th anniversary of service to the community.

    It was an honor to host the 50th annual Fairbanks Military Appreciation Banquet to express appreciation to the men and women in uniform, our veterans, and their families. Wonderful to see how the Fairbanks community shows such strong support to our military.

    While in Wasilla today, I stopped by Joe Redington Jr./Sr. High School to visit w/ students & faculty.  I especially enjoyed my Q & A with students who asked questions on everything from Alaska's energy resources to my favorite ice cream flavor.

    The FDA approved the application for an AquaBounty Salmon Facility in Indiana last week. Thankfully b/c of language I inserted into the FY18 omnibus bill banning the import of genetically engineered salmon, including eggs, they will be unable to produce GE salmon at this facility

    This designation in Alaska is an encouraging step towards developing initiatives that will decrease the production and distribution of illegal drugs, to keep them off our streets, cutting the issue off at the source
