I was asked recently to speak about a subject of great interest to me, the building of the Alcan Highway during WWII by over 10,000 soldiers in 8 months! Veterans' Day is a great day to research & learn about this against all odds feat of grit, courage, endurance, & patriotism.

Remembering my dad, Ed Walker, with love & gratitude today for his WWII service in the U.S. Army as an Alaskan Scout in the Alaskan Combat Intelligence Platoon in the Aleutians. And to all who have served and sacrificed, a grateful nation owes an enduring debt of gratitude.

All those years in Valdez prepared me for this day! This part is fun, driving today isn’t so be careful if you must be on the roads. It’s a good day for a cozy fire & eggnog. That’s where you’ll find me later today.

Congratulations to Ketchikan’s very own Kiera O’Brian who served as my chief of staff while I taught as a resident fellow at @HarvardIOP in 2020. Alaska is proud of you, Kiera!

I heard many stories of combat & survival from my dad who served with Castner's Cutthroats aka the Alaskan Scouts in the Aleutians in WWII. Dad instilled in us a deep respect for our country & for all who valiantly & sacrificially serve to defend our freedom. Happy Veterans Day!

Election Day is right around the corner and today we had 4 different campaigns join us on our corner while sign waving. It’s about unity. It’s about bringing people together. It’s about Alaska. And it’s time to vote.

I’m not running for governor for money or power. I’m running because right now, in 2022, @HeidiDrygas and I are the only team that can beat Dunleavy. And Alaska and its people are worth far too much to me to stand by and do nothing while he runs our state into the ground.

Someone came up to me recently and said they'd heard I was a little too pro-union. I told them I wasn't a little pro-union, I was a lot pro-union. From pioneer home staff to carpenters, Alaskan workers deserve fair wages, good retirement, and safe working conditions.

Alaska's labor movement is proud to stand behind @LisaForSenate, @MaryPeltola, and @walkerdrygasAK! Let's get these candidates across the finish line so they can start making a real difference in the lives of working families. ✊ #1u #UnionStrong
