“Federal judges have an extraordinary level of responsibility in our constitutional system of government, rendering decisions with far-reaching implications for our economy, land and resources, and public safety,” said Sen. Sullivan. “We have an abundance of well-qualified individuals in Alaska with strong credentials and character who would make an outstanding federal judge. I want to invite interested Alaskans with a heart for public service to put their names forward. The Alaska Federal Judiciary Council will review candidates in the coming weeks and determine finalists to appear before the Council for interviews.”

“The Pikka project, Alaska’s largest oil development in more than 20 years, is over a decade in the making,” said Sen. Sullivan. “I had the honor of approving the exploration well when I served as Alaska’s DNR Commissioner and as we were marshaling new companies from around the world, large and small, to come and invest in our great state. We worked relentlessly to make our permitting system more efficient, and ensured companies were abiding by the terms of their leases, and if they weren’t, we got them out to bid to others quickly. We also worked with the Legislature to create a more predictable tax system. All of this resulted in the Pikka discovery and more energy companies working on the North Slope—which is now one of the hottest oil plays in the world. Pikka will deliver 80,000 barrels of peak daily production through TAPS, billions of dollars in investments in our state and communities over its lifetime, and thousands of good-paying direct and indirect jobs for Alaskans across the state. I want to congratulate all the hard-working men and women who put in thousands of hours to bring Pikka online and to reach this major milestone in Alaska energy development. The Alaska Comeback continues!”

By the way, it is a good-faith argument. There are Members on both sides of the aisle making different arguments.

This is an iconic, iconic picture of the men--and, of course, women--who built our great Nation: the working families, the union members who built our great Nation, won World War II. This is, by the way, the Empire State Building. Some of our workers built that. I want to talk about that here in a minute. They are having a little bit of lunch. But these are the wor… Continue Read
