From the Desk of Congressman Don Young

Alaskans,

I wanted to share some very exciting news!

I have successfully passed several Community Project Funding initiatives for various projects in Alaska. This funding, which will soon be signed into law as part of government funding legislation, is the result of close collaboration and advocacy between myself and Alaskan community leaders.

Tomorrow, at 1:30pm Alaska time, I will be hosting a special Take 5 Live on Facebook Live to answer YOUR questions about these Community Project Funding initiatives. Click here to submit your questions.
