This is the first time I have worked to help a campaign. My contribution was limited to a few sessions of phone calls and providing Mark with some photos from a stop at UAF. I'm happy for Mark and for Alaska. Congratulations.

Congrats - Welcome to Washington
Senator-elect Begich,
Congratulations on your victory, long time coming but worth it!!
It was great meeting you in DC a few months ago. We talked about needing your support for a bill that would give the people of the District of Columbia a vote in Congress.
I look forward to seeing you "around town" and your vote in support of ending taxation without representation in the District of Columbia!
