“’No state has been targeted more by the current administration than the great state of Alaska,’ said Republican Gov. Mike Dunleavy at his state of the state address this year as he decried federal limits on increasing oil production. ‘At every turn, and since day one of this Biden administration, this hostility has been perfectly clear. They don’t care about Alaska, and they don’t care about you.’
