What I am delivering to Alaska is a future that holds hope and opportunity for jobs, for people in this state.

Mitt Romney understands the importance of Alaska as a leader in our country's energy production and I look forward to working with him on such an important economic and national security matter.

I have never once asked Alaskans to like how I got this job.

There are many outsiders that actively try to halt every natural resource development project in Alaska. Many of these same people have never even been to Alaska, yet they claim to know what's best for us.

What I miss most about living in Alaska is the fishing.

I like Alaska for the salmon fishing - it's fantastic there. I usually stay in a log cabin with no one around for miles. I like to go with friends, but I'm also happy to be on my own with nature.

Let's not get caught up in the D.C. trap of Democrats versus Republicans. When you're in Alaska it's about what's important for Alaska.

I missed that question on Alaska. I hear they want to make it a state now.

If there's anybody who is recognized as the one guy who has stymied Alaskan development, it's Bill Clinton.

One thing that Alaskans clearly appreciate is seniority.
