  8. I am not going to back down & will continue my fight to ensure that any salmon product that is genetically engineered be clearly labeled. USDA’s new guidelines don’t require adequate mandatory labeling & don’t suffice as giving consumers clear information.

  9. The recently deactivated a 2016 import alert that prevented Genetically Engineered (GE) salmon from entering the U.S. market. I’m extremely disappointed in the FDA’s short-sighted decision. It is wrong-headed and a bad idea, simple as that.

  16. In Ketchikan AK where over 95% of the Borough is in the Tongass National Forest, it is difficult to build much of an economy. We need to do more to ensure that local communities have the ability to diversify their economy, with policies that account for region-specific issues.

  17. I chaired an ENR Cmte roundtable on issues related to access & development of public lands in western states. As many communities in the west know, when significant portions of a state’s lands are federally managed it is difficult to increase or maintain economic opportunities.

  18. Loved hosting lunch for my Senate colleagues to showcase Alaska products --- reindeer sausage, halibut, and protein noodles (a gluten-free Pollock-based noodle). I thought topping it off with a Klondike bar was appropriate.
