Congratulations to Alaska’s schools and students—the Presidential Fitness Test is coming back! 🇺🇸💪

Thanks to Alaska’s Rural Health Transformation Program, the Alaska Department of Education & Early Development and the Department of Health are working together to bring student fitness assessments back to schools across our state.

This is about more than a fitness test. Healthy kids are better positioned to learn, succeed, and build lifelong healthy habits. Our schools will receive resources for fitness equipment, educator training, and implementation support, with testing expected to begin in the 2027–28 school year.

I’m especially proud to see Alaska embracing an initiative that encourages discipline, physical activity, personal responsibility, and healthy competition among our young people.

Congratulations to the students, educators, families, and communities who will benefit from this investment in the next generation of Alaskans. Strong kids make strong communities—and strong communities make a strong Alaska. 🇺🇸💪

I'm thankful for all the work that Governor Dunleavy, his team, and all of my pro-gasline colleagues put into this. At the same time, I'm also extremely disappointed with the end result. Alaska deserves so much better. Alaska deserves to be able to bring our gas to market. We have a constitutional duty to develop our resources for the maximum benefit of the people. It doesn't do us any good having our gas just sitting on the North Slope. That doesn't benefit anyone.

Google "Why we need to take gas off the North Slop" to get a better understanding of the urgency of building the gas line. (Hint: It;s about maintaining oil production as well as lowering energy cost.)

The Trans Alaska Pipeline is currently flowing at 460,000 bbls. per day. This 20 minute video explains why we need to be concerned about flow rates through TAPS dropping below 350BBLs per day. The Pika field, which was brought on line a month or so ago will add about 80,000 bbls per day at its peak production and the Conoco's Willion project will is projected to bring another increase of up to 160,000 bbls per day when it comes online in 2039. This makes the pipelin considerably less expensive to operate which increases the well-head value per barrell of all oil produced and, in turn the royalty and production tax income flowing into the state treasury and temporarily allieviates the legislature's cash flow problems.

Something related to copper bullets vs. lead bulletsfor hunters to think about. I'm not aware of active proposals to require copper bullets at the state level. If someone has heard different please let me know.
