Murkowski Visits Homer

Statement

During the Easter recess, I had the opportunity to spend April 4th in Homer and visited a variety of local attractions. The day was jam-packed with events, including visits to Homer High School, Seldovia Village Tribe Wellness Center and the Homer Chamber of Commerce. At the Chamber, I shared with the community my thoughts and views about work in Washington, D.C. and touched on a number of issues that hit home for every day Alaskans -- from partisanship in Congress and the state of economy, to high gas prices and the prosecutorial misconduct in the Ted Stevens trial. I also had the chance to meet with the Homer Peony Growers as well as local farmers who are benefiting from the USDA Soil & Water Conservation grant program for high tunnels.

My visit to Homer left me with a great sense of pride and motivation as I head back to D.C. for the next work period.
