Already businesses across the country are dropping coverage for spouses, cutting back hours for their employees and insurance premiums are up. Their idea: more government dependence. This is unacceptable. Obamacare is making it harder for Alaskans to support their families and it is a dangerous program that we cannot afford. Misguided federal energy and environmental policies have been devastating to Alaska and our country.

The Trans-Alaska oil pipeline is running less than one-third full. Under President Obama, exploration in the Arctic has slowed to a crawl and the acreage for exploration in the National Petroleum Reserve Alaska has been cut in half. I know Alaska can be the engine that drives America.

Law-abiding citizens have the right to keep and bear arms, plain and simple. I will defend the right for Alaskans to defend their families and their homes. The U. Senate Majority today is working to erode our Second Amendment rights and Mark Begich supports their leadership. I will oppose all efforts to water down the Second Amendment. I believe that this protection extends to all lives, including the unborn. Every person has a purpose and path in the world and I firmly believe life begins at conception.

Three years ago, I worked with pro-life groups to pass the parental notification initiative and I have fought to make it work. I do not believe government money should support abortion. Source: [ [14] Follow the Money].

In and , Treadwell testified to Congress regarding his concerns about anthropogenic global warming, but when running for Lt.

Governor in , said he did not believe carbon dioxide emissions were a significant problem. On August 20, , he was called before the Homeland Security Subcommittee of the Senate Committee on Appropriations, when it made a field trip to Alaska.

During his testimony Treadwell warned that the recently announced moratorium on commercial fishing of the Beaufort Sea would fail if it were not matched by similar moratoriums by Canada and Russia. In Treadwell served as a delegate for Alaska in the Republican National Convention and served early on as co-chair of Mitt Romney's Presidential campaign in Alaska.

Treadwell has been involved in numerous successful business ventures and is a prominent member of Alaska's business community. Treadwell played a role in the foundation of Digimarc, a digital watermarking technology provider ranked first on Forbes list of fastest growing tech companies in Treadwell and his wife, Carol, had three children, two sons, Tim, Will, and a daughter, Natalie. Carol Treadwell died in of cancer. He is active in the Catholic Church. After Governor Hickel decided not to run for re-election in , Treadwell served as a board member on the Alaska Science and Technology Foundation.

He is a member of the Alaska Siberia Research Center board. He led two expeditions to Wrangel Island in and led a team of nuclear safety experts to the Bilibino Nuclear Power Plant in Chukotka in In , incumbent one-term governor Steve Cowper decided not to seek re-election. He served in that position from to and continued to help the cleanup of the spill. He wrote new oil spill prevention laws, and helped create the Department's Environmental Justice division.

He also represented the state of Alaska on U. In the wake of the Exxon Valdez oil spill, Treadwell left Yukon and went to Cordova, Alaska, to serve as the city's director of spill response. Cordova was badly impacted by the spill, which severely affected the area's fishing industry and disrupted the general ecology of the area. A September article in the Spartanburg Herald-Journal praised the cleanup efforts, saying that they had come along "quite well".

Treadwell expressed optimism about the ecological rebound, cautioning that, while over half of beaches appeared normal and the quantity of commercial fish catches was exceptionally strong, the long-term effects of the spill would not be apparent for "years to come". In a piece on National Public Radio, Treadwell stated that some harmful effects of the oil spill have persisted. After that, he was hired by Hickel's business company, Yukon Pacific Corporation, where he worked as Treasurer and later Vice President.

Yukon Pacific was founded to investigate the possibility of building a trans-Alaska gas pipeline. Later that year, he moved to Alaska to take an internship with former U.

Hickel lost a close contest to incumbent Republican Governor Jay S. Global warming will eventually lead to significant increases in resource exploitation in the Arctic. When might that begin? Much of the economic development going on now is not due to climate change as much as it is to advanced technology and global demand. Russia plans to ship oil and liquefied natural gas from its north to East Coast U.

Major development exploration is going on there now. Most ice experts predict that the so-called Northeast Passage, off Russia, is more likely to be a reliable long-term shipping route before the Northwest Passage, because ice is likely to last longer in the archipelago of the Canadian North. Some projections find that summertime passage over the North Pole itself could be possible in several decades. Our commission is conducting an Arctic Marine Shipping Assessment for the eight Arctic nations, looking at scenarios in which ice conditions and so forth are not the limiting factor.

Life may not have changed much by the Charles River. But in Alaska, life is changing dramatically, with shoreline erosion and melting glaciers. I have some scientist friends who were on an icebreaker last summer, and they came upon some polar bears on a small, solitary ice floe that was literally hundreds of miles from shore.

Despite everything we hear about melting ice and an accessible Arctic, it is still a cold, dark, forbidding place that requires special provisions and extensive preparation. Last spring, we mourned the deaths of two sailors on a British submarine; the summer before that, two U. Coast Guard members were lost.

They died in accidents in the Arctic in the name of exploration. The Arctic is indeed changing, but it remains a very tough place to work.
