Thank you to all Alaskans who have put their faith in me as the first woman in Alaska’s history to represent our state in the House of Representatives. Tonight, we’ve shown that we can win as a campaign that is pro-choice, pro-fish, pro-worker, and pro-Alaska.

Something a lot of us have forgotten is at the same time Roe was being ruled in the 1970s, U.S. policies were being made that led to the forced sterilization of more than 25% of Indigenous women of childbearing age — Alaska Natives included — oftentimes without their knowledge.
