Congressman Nick Begich

China has spent decades executing a deliberate strategy to corner global critical mineral supply chains. They mine. They process. They stockpile. While they are building, we are debating whether to allow an environmental review processes to proceed. To lead, we must build; and to build, we must have the materials to build.

Welcome home, Artemis II 🇺🇸

Today's Lawfare Daily is a @scaling_laws episode where @KevinTFrazier spoke to @RepNickBegich about the current state of AI policy in Congress, how Alaska may be a leader in developing AI infrastructure, and how his teams leverages AI to improve their own operations.

America will ALWAYS rescue our own, anytime and anyplace. You can’t stop the United States of America from finishing the mission.

Grateful to see both American airmen safely recovered after the downing of their F-15E over Iran. The warfighters who carried out this daring rescue mission embody the very best of our nation - skilled, relentless, and committed to never leaving a fellow American behind. Proud of our warfighters and thankful for their safe return.

No words can fully capture the depth of your sacrifice. Today, on Gold Star Spouses Day, we honor every spouse who has lost a loved one in service to this great nation. We are forever grateful.

Today, Christians across the nation and around the world observe Resurrection Sunday. As our families gather in churches and homes to celebrate and remember the resurrection of Jesus Christ, I want to wish everyone a blessed Resurrection Sunday and Happy Easter. He is Risen!

Proud to partner with @RepEdCase on this important bi-partisan bill providing regulatory relief for rural airports. Onward to the Senate.

For over half a century, the dream of deep space exploration has lived in the hearts of the American people. Today, that dream is alive again. Artemis II represents a declaration that America still leads and still believes in the power of human ingenuity to shape the future. To the astronauts embarking on this historic journey: you carry with you the hopes of a nation. We wish you strength and a safe return home. Congratulations on the mission ahead. America is with you every step of the way.

The future doesn't belong to the fainthearted; it belongs to the brave. Tonight, America will start our return to the moon’s orbit for the first time since the 1970s. Godspeed and safe travels to Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch and Jeremy Hansen! Make us proud 🇺🇸

Great day in Fairbanks discussing key issues across Interior Alaska - strengthening transportation, expanding housing, supporting long-term economic growth and examining ways that our rural students are gaining hands-on learning experience for future careers. Appreciate the conversations with constituents and the folks working every day to keep Fairbanks a strong and prosperous community here in Interior Alaska.

It was a privilege to welcome Megan Onders, Chief of the King Island Native Community in Alaska, to testify before @NatResources Subcommittee on Water, Wildlife and Fisheries in strong support of the ARTIST Act. Chief Onders brought an extraordinary depth of leadership and perspective and her testimony made clear that the ARTIST Act is about protecting and sustaining local economies and important cultural traditions in Alaska Native communities. I’m proud to champion this legislation in the House, supporting the ingenuity and livelihood of Alaska’s Native artisans.

The House just passed my bill, the Airport Regulatory Relief Act of 2025. Small airports are critical for many communities in Alaska and across rural America, and this bill delivers the flexibility needed to maintain them more efficiently and affordably without compromising safety.

We are now one month into this DHS shutdown, a shutdown which poses a serious and growing threat to American national security. By continuing this charade, Democrats are holding the men and women of law enforcement hostage. It’s time to end this shutdown, restore readiness, and support those who keep America safe.

"As part of the Working Families Tax Cut law, House Committee on Natural Resources Republicans required lease sales in the NPR-A to secure Alaska’s and America’s energy future. "Today’s lease sale is a major victory for Alaska’s workers, its economy, and for American families who will benefit from a greater supply of affordable and reliable American energy. "I commend Congressman Begich for his efforts on this provision and his tireless advocacy for the people of Alaska." – Chairman @RepWesterman

Today marks a true milestone in restoring Alaska’s role as a cornerstone of American energy production. This historic lease sale is proof that the world is ready to invest in Alaska when the path is clear. doi.gov/pressreleases/…
